If you are trying to make your icon text backgrounds transparent and you are trying to do it after you have installed an animated wallpaper from a web site, you are wasting your time trying to fix the problem! If your computer is showing transparent backgrounds when using the “as is” wallpaper listed in the Desktop Display Box, it will not show transparent backgrounds if you install an animated wallpaper, say from EleFun for example. The same thing will happen when you install a desktop icon management program - it will work okay with those wallpapers supplied with your computer but will not work with any moving wallpaper off the web.
