desktop icon text+shadow

[D]

i've got a picture on my desktop. the icon text used to be plain (ie no drop
shadow or blurring). i'm using Clear text which does alias the text slightly
(to my preference), for some reason it's gone back to having an ugly drop
shadow/bold style around all the text (just the desktop icons).

i have tried turning the extra option "turn off drop shadow", all this does
is make it slightly less bold...

i can't for the life of me remember how i managed to get it clear the first
time. the only option i've found so far puts a colored box around the text,
not what i want!

any ideas?
cheers,

If you don't have the colored box around the text (in which case the text is
pure black or pure white, depending on the color surrounding it) then it
will always be white with a black shadow effect. This is not configurable.

ok, but how did i manage to get it to go like that before? i had managed to
remove the black shadow effect previously?

i have tried all help suggested but...

sorry to keep going on about this, but... if you click here:
www.focuseight.co.uk/icons.htm you'll see what i mean. pic 1 is the best i
can get now, where as pic 2 is what i used to have, clear, no outlined text
with no color border (there is no picture behind it just now!)... i can
understand how if it used to work once it can't work again.

TIA
