Is there any way of using Active desktop and have transparent text boxes under icons on desktop?

Tried to look on the web for details but nothing...

Please help (making a flash desktop but still want to use regular icons)

THANKS...

I don't understand about what it goes exactly but try to say what i know...

Active Desktop gives the ability to put html-sites on the desktop. In HTML there are two picture-formats that are able to have transparents: gif & png. JPG can not!

The thing you talk about is perhaps the bad behavour by clicking on an icon on the desktop that the background of the icon-text isn't transparent. To bring away the edge by clicking on a link in IE in a normal HTML-site you can take.....(an example)...

<a href="http://www.MSFN.org" onFocus="blur()">MSFN</a>

Active Desktop does more then just make the 'normal' edge (only IE)..it seems to be CSS-formatting because the color of the desktoplink in changing too by clicking on it.

So...perhaps it is somewhere in the files that makes the HTML-design of the surface

I think earlyer (Win98) there where some *.htt files for that. (C:\WINDOWS\Web)

Sorry...don't know more :/

i didn't quite understand what u guys trying to do but

if u just want to see "make the boxes under the desktop icons transparent. " there is an app for just doing that. I totally forgot the name of it since xp already does it.

search on google. I assure u I'v used an app for that

it was like 300kb or less. there might just be a registry hack for it...

btw active desktop will slow down your pc a lot!!!

There is also a freeware tool on the web for transparency, you can remove that background box and other things with it, such as make windows transparent. its meant for win98 but it works with active desktop on most versions i believe. Sorry havent got a link, but im sure google does.
