Cinnamon 1.6 desktop black font color

Linux mint 13 cinnamon 1.6
Popular themes from gnome-look.org like Zukitwo or Adwaita Cupertino that work flawlessly in 1.4 have black font color for desktop icons, no matter what you have in your theme css.

For example, in my theme css, this

.nautilus-desktop.nautilus-canvas-item {
color: #ffffff;
text-shadow: 1 1 black;
}

would set the desktop font color to white, works in 1.4 not in 1.6

Strange enough, Mint-X and Mint-Y work as expected, white font color for desktop icons.

Another thing with the black fonts, if you hover over the applets, say the calendar, the tooltip is also black with no background.

Try this modified adwaita theme

I've noticed this on Ubuntu and Fedora machines where Nemo is installed. Removing Nemo so that the regular Nautilus manages the Desktop icons seemed to "fix" the issue.
