I just tried nLite on a XP Pro SP2 install. It was clean and simple. But I think I over did something. The background/outline for my desktop icons (and thier text) are now all "windows default light blue" no matter what color my wallpaper is (on a clean install these are transperent and show the same color as the wallpaper). So my question is this: What did I remove for this not to work anymore? I suspect the "preview wallpaper" option, but I thought it would be easier to ask than to do a new install and find out I was wrong. (and yes, I did search the forum) //Daniel
