| 176731 | 2003-09-21 06:08:00 | I have a great number of icons on my desktop and usually have a rather multicoloured wallpaper (which I like to change weekly). The problem is the background colour for the icon text. I try to make the colour as neutral as possible but it just ends up looking ugly, is it possible to change the background colour of the icon text to transparent? Thanks, |

| 176734 | 2003-09-21 08:12:00 | This very much depends on what Operating Sysmtem (OS) is being used. Could you please let us know? | -=JM=- (16) | ||
| 176735 | 2003-09-21 08:16:00 | I really must refresh before answering.... If you hit <winkey>+<pause/break> then click the Advanced tab then click Settings in the Performance section. Scroll down the bottom and put a tick in "Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop" |

| 176736 | 2003-09-21 08:16:00 | If you mean the colour of the background "selection rectangle" on Icon text, why have you actually got any colour selected? If you make it transparent it with a drop shadow, surely your problem goes away? It looks far nicer in my opinion, than having a colour. Under Control Panel - System - Advanced - Performance - Visual Effects -tick "Use drop shadows for Icon labels on the desktop" If you mean something totally different, ignore the above. |
