Howdo I get my icons to be transparent with a custom desktop pic?
If you don't know what I am saying, here is a pic.

The area between the text and below it.

There was a prog that did it, forgot the name though. Google.

it might be either black, grey, or blue. Those are the most common transparent colors used.

In XP, it does it automatically.

'tis verdad.

The only thing I absolutely DETEST about Windows XP is the way it won't let you change file associations properly.

I know, accidentially I set my .dol models to open in Notepad and not HLMV, so now I have to change each extension manually. Torture on models with bunches of submodels for animations like scientist01-scientist20. It looks spiffy though, and my silver XP theme matches the Grey steam one. Hehe, I'm a freak about color-coding and having all my apps looking the same.

doesnt work 7th, i cant get it transparant under 98se

Not tried it.

Rabid: the thing I hate the most is that it replaces the "advanced" button with "Restore to what I think you should have" given the slightest chance.

It never loads programs to open things when I browse to put one not listed, either, so I have to open some commonly-used files manually if the prog is not listed. Annoying.

d00d, thats not transparent. The color is just changed to blend in.
