Desktop Icon font background colour?

[Guest]

My computer has decided to change the colourless font background to default
windows blue on my desktop icons. I don't know how to change the font
background so that it is in-sink with my desktop [picture] background. At the
moment I have only managed to change the font colour and the colour around
the font to other colours, but not back the way it was [the white writting
against the desktop background].

I hope that make sense!

I think what your trying to say is that you want your icon's text background
to be transparent, try the following :

1. Open System Properties in Control Panel.
2. Choose the Advanced tab.
3. Click Settings in the Performance section.
4. Turn on the Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop option.
5. Click Ok.

Hope that helps ?

Open the System applet in Control Panel, choose the Advanced tab, and
click Settings in the Performance section. Turn on the "Use drop
shadows for icon labels on the desktop option", and click Ok.

Four things are required for transparent icon backgrounds:

1) System Properties>Advanced>Performance Settings>VisualEffects - check
"use drop shadows for icon labels".

2) Right-click on Desktop ->Arrange Icons by>Lock Web items must be
cleared.

3) If you have any web content on your desktop, transparency won't work.
To check for web content: Display Properties>Desktop>Customize
Desktop>Web - make sure all checkboxes are clear.

4) Wallpaper must be an image file, not html.
