I have a question about How 
do I make the background of desktop icon text transparent?:


The "Disappear" utility worked as stated.  Unfortunately, it forces the icon text 
to be black.  My desktop background picture is dark enough that I can't make out 
the text.

I tried changing the icon text color in the Display Properties, Appearance tab, Item: 
Icon, but the color option is not available.  I tried indirectly to change it by 
setting the Item:  Desktop to black.  This did make the text white, but unfortunately 
it overrides the "Disappear" utility.  Disappear only seems to work by forcing the 
background to white, and consequently the text to black.

Is there any way to force the icon text to white (or other color) while making the 
background transparent?
