re: Question about 'How do I make the background of desktop icon text transparent?' Saturday, April 27, 2002 at 6:38 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Stetson (244 messages posted) Open System Properties 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. You can also try MicroAngelo (v5.5 or later), which allows you to change the text color, configure custom icons, and change other aspects of Windows. Another utility of this type is WindowFX.
