Icon text background

DieselBoy09 · 09-01-2006, 12:51 PM

Alright, so I am a person who likes to change background on the desktop fairly often. Unfortunately even if I find the correct background I want and I change it the little text boxes beneath the desktop icons still have a colored background and I'm stuck with trying to match it up to flow. It would simply be much easier if I could just have the icon and their name in simple text with no color filled box used to compliment the text. I use windows XP and I've seen screenshots of other peoples desktops where it is simply the text beneath the icon and I have yet to figure out how to do it on my own desktop. If someone could tell me how that would be great, and if you need more info about my operating system and versions etc... to correctly adress the issue, then ask and I will hopefully be able to track down all the information needed to assist you in assisting me. ^_~ Thank you for your time.

system properties, advanced, performance, settings, check "Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop"
