Hi folks - I used to have 'clear type' on my Desktop too and for some reason, I've gotten rid of the shortcut arrows but layer with the colored boxes on them are back under the layer with the name of the Icon's program. There is a program called Transparent - this program will do the trick too! You can have Transparent W (for white type), Transparent B (for black type) or Transparent that will either make the type under the icon the color of your wallpaper or either black or white (depending on your wallpaper). Check it out: www.transparent.com - it works!

Using WindowsXP, DELL Dimension 3000, I really need this software again (had it on WinME system) but can't seem to find it in your site - and I've been all over the place in this thing looking for it. Would you please help me out with this?
