WB4 means that you are running WinowsXP, icontext transparancy is part of XP.

Look under My Computer\Properties\Advanced\Settings

and make sure the 2nd item from bottome is checked - Drop Shadows item

Thanks, but I am running WB4 beta on Win2k
Just hoping stardock has not removed the icon text transparancy option on the win2k version
of WB4.

I too noticed that desktop icon text background transparecy stopped working when I installed the WB 3.51 release on 2K

Let me just clarify quickly before someone chimes in that I should upgrade to XP. I have upgraded to XP but still multi-boot with 2K because the fax software that I have and really love is way better than the XP fax & it won't run on XP. Diamond Multimedia doesn't even make modems anymore so no updated drivers are available. SO I have to keep Windows 2000
