Because that is what it is suppose to do... The background color is for the background for the icons (if you have enabled active desktop or locked web items on the desktop)

the format doesn't matter (at least in terms of PNG, JPG, GIF, etc). The subformat may matter though: It may matter if the image has transparency or animation. If that is the case Active Dekstop is activated automatically.

The two solutions offered to him are the only valid solutions there are, there is nothing else to offer...

Use 32-bit colour.



PS I have had the same problem with all PNGs (transparecy indifferent).

Wouldn't solve the problem though. Even when using 16 bit colors icon text can be perfectly transparent.

I always use PNG's as background and never had this problem...

Make sure the PNG's don't have a transparancy channel; even if you don't have transparent pixels in the image it doesn't mean the PNG doesn't have a transparent channel.

Attachment: PNG used as background, colors set to 16bit, icon text is still transparant...
