Just a quickie

[Collier]

On my desktop I want my icon titles (my computer, recycle bin etc) see through rather then being the colour I select for my desktop. I have the 'peace' background selected.
I've been through the appearance settings and advanced but can't figure out how to do it and am annoyed with it now.

Anyone help?

Cheers,

Paul

I don't think you can.

What operating system you using?

Change the desktop font size down to 28. Do this in display properties/appearance then select desktop icon in the drop down box

Job done.

If you right clcik on a spare space on the desktop, go to arange icons, you don't have a tick in the 'Lock web icons on desktop' do you? If you do untick it

Also go into control panel/system/advanced. In the performance section click settings then make sure you have a tick in the 'use drop shadows for icon labels' as well

Tell me if that worked

Is this a new PC Paul? Does it have a weak graphics card/chipset? If so, it might have shared video/system memory, and XP will not let u have transparent icon labels if that's the case.
