Title: transparency in xp
Post by: gooner1 on February 26, 2004, 09:32:10 AM

Hi. I am running win xp now for about 1 month and have just noticed that my desktop icons have lost their transparency. /sad.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':(\' />  I dont know why this has happened but it dont look too good without it with my wallpaper.
Does anybody know how i can restore this feature. I have looked in various settings but cant find anything about it. Thanks Mark.

start>control panel>system>advanced>performance settings>visual effects

check mark at "use dropdown shadows for icon labels on desktop...."
