The icon is showing above the wallpaper, Yes.

Remember that Win Me does not have transparent icons so if you are using
wallpaper the desktop colour will always show as a box behind the text below each icon. Third party add-ons are available to make the icons transparent and to stop the desktop colour appearing around the text. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Sean wrote: The icon is showing above the wallpaper, Yes. |

If you can get a background image with a constantish colour where the fonts are you can colour match the Desktop colour to it (like I did... looks cool) Rick |

LOL - sorry to have butted in but I got the impression that Sean was going
round in circles. All that remains now is for him to fire up Google or Yahoo or whatever and his "issue" will be solved. :-) -- Mike Rick T wrote: snork gonna put in a routine that checks if you've posted in between when I hit Reply and when I hit Send |

There used to be a program called Transparent 42 written by a guy called
Jay Guerette (http://www.pobox.com/~jayguerette/transparent) which was one of a number of free applets but that site hasn't been around for some time. Ah, putting Guerette and transparent into Google throws up several hits including http://www.geocities.com/mangokun/tr...sparentgui.htm which appears to be free. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Rick T wrote: nothing free; I checked it out awhile ago; IIRC there's some commercial stuff though.
