? (Translucent) Selection Rectangle on Desktop

[Alec S.]

Hi,

The selection rectangle of Windows XP is nice (if you've got a good
enough video card), but it does not seem to work when you selects stuff on
the desktop, only in folders.

Is that by design? Is there a way to get around it and make desktop
selections enable the translucent rectangle?


Thanks.

Hi Alec,

You are right, that is by design.

You are right, that is by design.

So I take it there is no way to enable/force it? I mean if it's a
performance issue then it should be up to the user like all the other visual
performance issues. If the system can support it, it would look really
nice.

No, not in my knowledge atleast.
