Okay, in regards to "How
do I make the background of desktop icon text transparent?", there is another
reason why your text on your icons may NOT be transparent:
TURN OFF THE ACTIVE DESKTOP. After a while of tinkering around with this, I realized
that if you have active desktop turned on, it can force the background of your icon
text to be opaque. To solve this, go to:
Display Properties -> Desktop -> Customize Desktop -> Web tab, then UNCHECK everything,
and uncheck "Lock desktop items"

I just found out that if I had a .gif for the format, it would not work. As soon
as I converted it to a .jpg, Voila!

Transparent Icon text
I'm new to WinXP and I'd like my Icon test (labels) on my desk top to have the little
blue box back ground. Currently they don't have it so I am guessing the these are
in "Transparent Icon Text" . They come this way with Win XP whereas in Win 98 and
ME they had the blue labels. If that is what this thread is about then, does any
body know how to get the blue label format? Or tell me what subject I should search
for.
Thanks.
