How to show item name

Hi, is there a way to see the names of items clearly on the items. Without opening a window etc.? I wanted to change the order of many items I had and it was a nightmare. It would have been much easier if could see their names.

Properties->Appearance->Media->[x] Display media item take name.

How does the rest of that Preferences page look for you?

Try enabling "Draw labels above the item, rather than within the item". If you don't see the name of the item then, item probably doesn't have a name. :)

That should show in there.

Hello, just wanted to mention that yesterday, I struggled with this feature, and totally failed... => you need to increase the height of the lines to be able to see the name of the items! When reduced to the minimum, even though there is enough vertical space to write the name within the item itself, it disappears... This is really annoying me, as I love to reduce track height to their minimum when rearraning items. If I do that, all the names disappear... :(

You can set that behaviour^^^ in Preferences

Maybe check the theme tweaker? In the actions-list, filter for "theme" and run the "show theme tweaker..." action. What color do you have for item label, and media item background?

Thank you very much for all the help but for some reason nothing works. I don't know what to say. Maybe it will show up at some point. Anyway thank you for your time.
