Desktop Icons Shadow

[Guest]

Hi All,

I am unable to remove the shadow of the desktop icons. The text beneath the
desktop icons seems to apper like a strip and I am unable to remove that. I
want the text to match with the color of the screen saver. Could anyone know
how to do this.

Thanks,
Raghu.

See if the options at

Start
Settings
Control Panel
System
Advance Tab
Performance, Settings Button

Custom will allow you to turn off the features you don't wish to have.

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.
