I set a picture as my background, n now all my icons have a blue border around them? It’s soooooo annoying me, anyone.
I never used to have it!
If that’s the case (what you meant by “icon”), you can also make the text background completely clear in XP. Just check off: Control Panel > System > Advanced > Performance Settings Button > ‘Use Drop Shadows for Icon Labels on the Desktop ‘
There are also utilities that make the ‘icon text block’ transparent for Windows 95, 98 and 2000. I can’t recall any names at the moment though, because I haven’t used a background image myself, for the past few years, but I guess Google is still your friend. 🙂
Sorry I wasnt very specific, I have xp and I mean all the icons, the programs which are on my desktop yeah…
I tried changing the colour, but that just adds another colour, I don’t want one ya see
N I tried the system thing but that does nothing, it’s really annoying! Thanks for the help tho, anythin else I could try?
So did you take my advice and use Google? Took me five minutes to find this. Is that what you’re looking for?
could you give us a picture of what the problem is? that would be much more helpful than trying to describe it… take a screenshot and post it please
if you need a good picture server, try out PhotobucketThe problem is in the link that DJ gave, basically a rectangle. I wouldnt like to use any programs etc, I jus want it the way it is, n am I unable to get it back now?
If you don’t want to use any computer programs, then don’t expect anything to happen. It’s like mowing the grass without wanting to use a mower.
… now either I’m confused or you are simply forming your question badly.
I’ll try once more. By default Windows put a background + border around those icons. If you want to remove it, you need to use third party software (as I posted earlier).
Hi guys, do I not exist? Since you’re using XP, I already gave you both the answer:
