1.	Solve : Icons appearing with colored background?
Answer» Hi guys! If you look at the picture, u see that under the shortcuts there is black, now i would like that black to dissappear... Is it possible? Thanx, FilluX Looks like you are either using XP in Classic MODE, or 2000 Right click the desktop: Properties> Appearance Tab> Click the Advanced button From the Items drop-down box, select "Icon" If there are any colors selected, CHANGE them to WHATEVER you want. And if that doesn't work, try changing your computers desktop theme. No color was selected, and i changed back to xp theme, then the color was nehind the shortcuts blue In the picture you posted there is no black at the bottom....has the ISSUE been resolved ? ?Quote from: patio on August 22, 2007, 08:27:55 PM In the picture you posted there is no black at the bottom....has the issue been resolved ? ? Black background as in the black highlighting on the text on icons. The desktop color is what will appear as background in the icons.Unlike earlier versions of Windows that only allowed a plain colour background behind the labels under the icons on your desktop, Windows XP allows you to make the background transparent so that the text APPEARS as if it is directly over whatever background image you are using for your page. If the labels appear to have a plain colour background on XP and you want a transparent background then open the Control Panel and go into the Performance and Maintenance section. From there select System and then go to the Advanced tab. Go to the Performance section and press the Settings button. The "Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop" option needs to be selected. If you still have a plain colour background with this option selected then right click on the desktop, select Arrange icons by and make sure that "Lock web items on dersktop" is NOT selected. Thanx guys!! Got it all fixed thanx to all the comments ) FilluX
