Question about 'How do I make the background of desktop icon text transparent?'

I have a question about How
do I make the background of desktop icon text transparent?:
I searched for a long time for any utility/squid that would help me integrating a
diferent value under the shown shadow's thickness.
It is a fact; the dropshadow makes text hard to read, but with a nice contour surroiunding
text uniformely, that would make text readable over any background color, even white
or black.
I made researches with those spellings:
Make desktop icons text background shadow thicker O_o
Change drop shadow of desktop icons.
Search ended a year ago, lengted a few weeks and started again today with a "sure
wont waist a year on that" attitude.
So, yeah, just moving the drop angle to a few pixels left and up, then making the
shadow thicker with whatever the method (duplicating, changing transparencity value,
or even making every letters show a per-caracter centered thick background layer
true font but thats way too wierd in my toughts for spelling and aranging the idea
like it could.)
If anyone's got a clue, let me know!

Set the Desktop Font to one of the Other 2 Larger settings. I got a few elderly Users
who find the Largest Font works great for Better visibility of the Desktop shortcuts.
