Sorry, I apparently missed the beginning of the thread. Are you looking for
transparent icons?

To have transparent icons.

1) Hold down the Windows key and press Pause/Break. On the "Advanced" tab,
under "Performance" click "Settings." On the "Visual Effects" tab, make sure
the box "Use drop shadows for icon labels" is checked

2) Right-click on the Desktop, and make sure that "Arrange Icons by" "Lock
Web items" is not checked.

3) Right-click on the Desktop, and choose Properties. Othe "Desktop" tab,
click "Customize Desktop," then on the "Web" tab, uncheck all boxes.

4) Make sure any Wallpaper is an image file. Html will stop the
transparency.

That's one of the options available. The other is to do an Internet search for "transparent icon text" which will bring up lots of
results. There are plenty of programs (Iconoid is a great one) that will let you not only have transparent icon text backgrounds,
but also choose the color of the text itself. In fact, Iconoid does a whole lot more, I highly recommend it.
