feelix Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/669/bghelp3nh.jpgokay, you know how under all icons on your desktop there is writting(usually with the program name). Well look at my image, you see how behind the writting there is the grey background? and it looks kinda sloppy. Is there anyway I can remove that small grey bg from behind the text? I used to have a clear background and it looked really clean and nice. How can I restore the clear transparent background behind the writting.please help!thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarecrow Man Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 If you enable Active Desktop, your icons will have a background color, set to the color of your desktop.You can use pops' link to disable the shadows, but it may disable your image.If it does, just save the image as a jpeg or bmp and load it again.

feelix Posted April 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 I did that. Still got the little backgrounds behind the text. Any other ways to fix this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 You can try,Iconoid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feelix Posted April 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 I downloaded that, it seems like it will work. But it says I am using an active desktop, so I can't use transparent background. How can I use a non-active desktop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarecrow Man Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Active Desktop is usually caused by web-content on your desktop. Usually an image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
