Well, my computer just got infested of spyware/adware/malware. I won't go on details on how it got into my computer but now the problem is my desktop: now my icons aren't transparent! RE: Desktop problem by Felu on 05-09-2006 at 07:58 AM
If you use Windows XP- RE: Desktop problem by NiteMare on 05-09-2006 at 07:58 AM transparent?, are they supposed to be?, what version of windows are you using? RE: Desktop problem by zaher1988 on 05-09-2006 at 08:22 AM
Well if you are using somekind of tweak XP, that would be causing this problem. RE: Desktop problem by NiteMare on 05-09-2006 at 08:24 AM i take it since the window has a transparent boarter your using vista RE: Desktop problem by YottabyteWizard on 05-09-2006 at 04:16 PM

Please always search forums first ... quote:Actually rav0 already posted the correct proper (and complete) information incl. solution --------------- The problem can be caused by two things. And the solution given by lizard.boy is only a part of the story. In fact, most stuff (not everything) said in this thread is correct. So it isn't a matter of their solutions not working and not being correct, as they will work and are actually correct, they are all just only a part of the story. As noted in the link previously posted by rav0, it depends on 2 things: 'Active Desktop' being enable or not, and/or 'Lock Web Items' being used or not... Among the many threads created before about the exact same problem: CookieRevised's reply to Dodgy White Square There can also be a related problem: 'Active Desktop' will be automatically enabled if you use certain desktop background images: CookieRevised's reply to Transparent Icons Help (also noted and linked to in the previous link) So, the solution of lizard.boy might work for YottabyteWIzard's case, but might not for others. ----------- EDIT: quote:really? hmmm, ok, next time you owe us all a drink RE: Desktop problem [FIXED] by YottabyteWizard on 05-10-2006 at 05:13 PM
