re: Question about 'How do I make the background of desktop icon text transparent?' Wednesday, May 26, 2004 at 11:24 am Posted by Michael L Brookins (1 messages posted) I installed TransText and yes, it did remove the blue boxes encasing the text. Problem is, the text is either yellow, red or orange. I tried to change the codes in the TransText box but I was simply guessing. What I need to know is the color code for white text. Thank you.

It does transparent text and has a lot of nice other options too, like hiding icons after the desktop has been unused for a while, and letting you save and restore icon positions in case Windows decides to rearrange the icons. -- Travis On Tuesday, May 7, 2002 at 1:56 am, Stu Greaves wrote: >There is a neat little utility called TransText that runs on Windows startup that >makes backgrounds of icons transparent (or you can make the icon background and icon >text a particular colour if you so wish). >It is only 32k. >It definitely works with W95 and W98, not sure about 2000 or XP.

If it wants you to enter values for red, green, and blue, enter the maximum available value for all three and you will get white. -- Travis On Wednesday, May 26, 2004 at 11:24 am, Michael L Brookins wrote: >I installed TransText and yes, it did remove the blue boxes encasing the text.
