Dont you want the white bit on the text?
Well if you dont. Mini Tut:
1.Right Click on ur desktop
2.Click on properties
3.Click on desktop
4.Click on colour
5.Pick your colour to whatever you want that white part 2 be.

If this is not what you meant then

Yeah, my icons do that too. In fact, the icons on my desktop stopped have the transparent background immediately after the first day or so of having my new computer. I have no idea how to fix it, aside from just plain out hiding your icons like I do.

i have as less icons on my desktopp as i can now.
i don't like having a huge startmenu


and ACE, i know that, but then it's the same everywhere, and styill won't fit with the wallpaper. i want it to be transparent again.

I think perhaps using a custom theme that isn't signed by microsoft might cause the transparency to go away, but I'm not sure..

Ok

Press Windows+break or Right click on my computer and click properties

Click advanced Tab

Click settings under performance

un/check "Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop"

That should do it.... I think

i think tuneup utilities could help out

thats it. Also as slayer said, tune up can help you optimize your computer performance and looks by changing those settings.
