Transparency of Label

[nebulom]

How do I transparent the labels of the icons on my desktop. I don't want the blue background of the "My Computer". See attached. Please help, thanks.

Usually its the Background color of the desktop. I assume that the red color is a wallpaper.You could try changing the background
color to red to match the wallpaper color.

Thanks Rob. I think I can do that but I need help on setting it up to Transparent. Is there any way I can do that? Thanks for the reply.

Its transparent on my system at work (XP SP2) but at home I cant see how. Its XP SP1.

What are you running?

[nebulom]

SP 2.

Then it should be possible. I dont remember how I did it at work but my walpaper appears transparent for the desktop icons text background.

You mean the last three checkboxes? Mine are already checked but my home system is SP1. Would that make the difference?

I think it will work with SP1. Just a guess.

Edit: Mind if I put Resolved Icon, Rob? It works on my time machine.

yes that check box.
it's doesn't matter what service pack u used, its a standard menu of Xp.
u cannot changed the transparancy label in win 9x, 2000, and all server OS (windows platform).

Nope doesnt work I even tried changing backgrounds to try to get it to refresh. Oh well. Guess I'll just suffer with it.
