Please help! oh.. now i understand what you mean... yape it is impossible to do that with win98.. .but you can use another software to enable that... try to download windowblind it will have the feature that you want... ;) the latest version if i'm not wrong is version 3.0 IceBlu 08-04-2002, 05:20:PM its only possible in Windows XP or like Amika said , if u have some program like Talisman ,Window blinds , DesktopX ,Style XP , Illumination etc etc.......but i would advise you not to download any of those Shell changing programs for the simple fact that they are all Unstable. Stick to the way ur icons look now....and try to get Windows XP if u can. Cheers Number9 08-04-2002, 10:14:PM Just stick with ur icons as they are! Dont bother with XP!, its a waste of time. Messed me about no end, so i went back to 98! Cheers Nath Paul 08-04-2002, 11:25:PM actually, there's a program called irfanview, you make your icon with paint or whatever, sav it as a a .gif (as far as i know they are the only files that the background can be transparent). then do some stuff with irfanview and bobs your half uncle or something. Hope this can help a bit. Paul Amika 09-04-2002, 04:46:PM Originally posted by Number9 Just stick with ur icons as they are! Dont bother with XP!, its a waste of time.

It doesn't like a lot of programs, usually my comp crashes 3 times in the space of 3 hours!!!! I will upgrade to XP when i get a new m/b, processor and more ram ;) Number9 11-04-2002, 09:44:AM Yea I admit that if u can get it running it is cool. It was great for me while I had it, the only problem was it ****ed up my drivers for my modem, scanner & printer whe it installed. So I was stuck with a cool, but completely functionless computer. Therefore I have reverted back to Win98 for now. Untill there are updates to sort out this problem for me. Cheers Nath P.s . XP never crashed with a blue screen for me, but often locked up & froze. (prob coz my ****ty old thing couldnt cope with what it was doing). Amika 11-04-2002, 10:33:PM Originally posted by Number9 Yea I admit that if u can get it running it is cool.
