Icon Text Backround

Technical Support Forum

I have been customizing my back round with some great stuff, a new wallpaper, a bit of HTML, window blinds, etc. It looks great EXCEPT the back round of the icon text it white or black. I know it should be transparent but its not. Anyone know how to fix this?

I am running Windows XP.

Right click on your desk top > select property > select desk top > click on customize desk top > select web > uncheck lock desktop items > apply > ok

It was already unchecked, and they arent transparent.

advance: how is your active desktop set up? if you are using it, the icon text won't be transparent.

It gives casue, symptoms, but mp fix :/

This problem can occur if you have a background or have added a desktop item that uses Active Desktop. Setting a Web page as the active desktop, or using a transparent or animated GIF image can cause this.
