I would like to make the desktop icon text transparent so the background
wallpaper color shows through. I use XP but do not want to use the drop
shadow option since this makes only white text. Is there a way to write
program that polls the desktop icons, then alters the background text color.
A program that I use frequently has this option. If I close this program
then this
functionality disappears and the text background is colored again. Thanks.
