Desktop icons with blue background color looks so bad and annoying. It makes desktop look tacky with lot of irritating blue color splashed on beautiful desktop wallpaper. You can easily remove this background color from desktop icons and make the background transparent.
Make desktop icons background transparent
1. Click Start > Settings > Control Panel. Then double click on System Icon, system properties window will open.
2. Click on Advanced tab in System properties window.
3. Click Settings button next to performance option.
4. Under Visual effects tab, check (or tick) option “Use drop shadows for icons labels on the desktop”. Background color of desktop icons will be set to transparent instead of ugly looking solid blue color.
You only need to perform above in Windows XP powered computer. Desktop icon background is set to transparent by default in Windows Vista and Windows 7.
My actual problem is blue background behind desktop icons is diplaying. I follow your steps but problem is same till now.
I had the same problem. I changed my desktop background with a picture in png format. I have tried all solutions I have found googling. None of them was useful. I changed my picture format from png to jpeg and put it as desktop background again. This solved my problem. Hope this will be helpful.
Hi i tried ur idea also. but still the problem isn’t solved.
This problem is only caused when we have selected the option of “Lock Web Items on Desktop”. To turn it off, right click on the desktop and go to “Arrange Icons By” and uncheck the option of “Lock Web Items on Desktop”.
so uncheck this option and enjoy
hey thanx !
