R600 Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 I'm in need of making the background of my html files transparent, not just the text box of the standard icons you find on the desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunil Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 anyone ???I dont think there is a way, active desktop, when enabled, disables transparent backgounds. So if you can figure out a way, please let us in on it.Sunil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiggyBaby Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 I am wondering about this too. I'm running Windows 2K Pro and would like to make the boxes under the desktop icons transparent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZuluDC Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 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 surfaceI think earlyer (Win98) there where some *.htt files for that. (C:\WINDOWS\Web)Sorry...don't know more :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtremeMaC Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 i didn't quite understand what u guys trying to do butif 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 thatit was like 300kb or less. there might just be a registry hack for it...btw active desktop will slow down your pc a lot!!!

FthrJACK Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craney Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 I used to have that when on Win2kI believe its called "Simply Transparent"Google will know the answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
