How do you make desktop icon names "float" in Windows 9X?

[Bill]

When choosing a different background color or wallpaper, I thought I saw someone's desktop (sometime ago) that had icon names that integrated well with whatever was chosen. Instead of a block of colored pixels with white text inside, the pixels surrounding the icon names always had the same color as any background color chosen. How do you do this?

Hmmm....in LiteStep there is a color for transparency.....but I guess your not in LiteStep....

Bill - I sent a program to your Juno account that will do what you need.

You mean to make the text boxes transparent?

Then download a program called deskcolor. Do a search in download.com. believe me, it works.

Litestep rocks!

Thanks alot! I always wondered how the transparecy thing was done. I guess Win98SE doesn't support that kind of hack natively...

It does if you use LiteStep, gotta love LiteStep

Yeah. If you?re a newbie, stay away from Litestep. I had too many newbies call me cause they couldn?t get the themes to work. It's a cool shell though.
