Add two settings:

  • desktop-text-shadow: Three levels of shadow (normal, darker,
    darkest) - normal being the traditional amount.
  • desktop-text-shadow-use-theme: If true, and if the theme supports
    it, allow the GTK theme to control desktop style, including text
    shadow.

Nemo has always checked for theme support at startup and during
theme changes, to ensure custom widgets/features worked correctly
for users (such as inactive-pane shading). We add another check for
'nemo-desktop' there. If the theme lacks any support, nemo provides
it like before, using the shadow-level setting.

I'm still tweaking 'darker' and 'darkest', but what the setting looks like at the moment:
