eXtremeDX Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Can somebody tellme where to tweak so that I can get transparent desk icon labels? I know Revolutions Pack 7 does the trick, but i'm not gonna use it for my old 98SE.Also, is there any SAFE way to change boot screen besides tihiy's WLL?later
Tihiy Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 1. UberSkin or Hook99 can do that.2. WLL or logo.sys.
eXtremeDX Posted September 25, 2008 Author Posted September 25, 2008 ohh thanks, sorry late reply, but where should I configure uberskin so that it shows transparency instead of color?
starcraftmaster Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 how do you do that with uberskin?
Dblake1 Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 no, UberSkin doesn't turn the Icon Labels Background transparent
Aloha Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 EXtremeDX, have you read the third post from here: http://www.msfn.org/board/UberSkin-t110483.htmlThere's a code saying that you can make the desktop icons labels transparent. I'm not sure if it works for you. Why don't you try it?
starcraftmaster Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 so what i do just go to reg regedit and add"TransparentIcons"=dword:00000001 this to[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\desktop]
Aloha Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 (edited) Starcraftmaster, yes I think so. Or you can copy the code, paste it into Notepad, save it as a file .reg, then run it. It looks like this:REGEDIT4[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]"TransparentIcons"=dword:00000001Edit: "Make sure you add a new line at the end of the script above, as Regedit won't execute the script otherwise." (source: from post 9 on this thread). If it doesn't work for you, find the person who posted that code but don't kill him, kill Drugwash instead!For more proper information, please read post 9 below by Drugwash. Thanks for reading!

Drugwash Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Make sure you add a new line at the end of the script above, as Regedit won't execute the script otherwise.You don't need to log off or reboot after that, just right-click the desktop and choose Refresh.
BenoitRen Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Make sure you add a new line at the end of the script above, as Regedit won't execute the script otherwise.!That explains why mine never worked.
Aloha Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Drugwash,When I still used 98, RP7 made the icon labels transparent for me. I've never tried this registry before, so I don't know that it needs such a blank line to work properly. When I read Starcraftmaster's post, I thought he said to me and the registry had worked for him! OK, I'll edit my previous post according to what you said. Thanks for letting me know.Starcraftmaster,Sorry for posting the wrong registry and not testing it. I hope Drugwash's post has helped you solve the problem.
Drugwash Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Glad to be of help. To be honest, I've read about this quirk of Regedit somewhere around these boards and have actually tested the small script above in a recent test installation of Uberskin. However, I'm used to ending all text-like files in a new line since VC6 is throwing warnings for code/header files that do not respect this rule.
