Hello, Is it possible to change the background color of the icon text labels? Preferrably, I'd like to make it clear since it doesn't look very good when I use a desktop picture. Would this require a hack? Thanks in advance for any assistance. David (System777) |

This may be a stupid question. Still, here goes: If it really were clear, how would you be able to read the text (which you need to read)? I suppose there is always ResEdit, which you could play with. But I suspect that the sanest thing to do would be to experiment with some of the many MacOS GUI Shareware or Freeware enhancements that floated around in the period from around 1995-98 (Aaron etc), and see what effects you can produce if you are unhappy with the defaults. They were ubiquitous and could be found on virtually every CD that shipped on a Macintosh magazine cover of the period.

Perhaps I should clarify my question. I would like to make the icon text BACKGROUND color clear, not the text itself. Does that make more sense?

It depends on the desktop picture as to how well I think this would work. i.e. If the desktop picture was a light colour where the icons are you'd still be able to read the text. An alternative is to edit the desktop pic. e.g. you could add a white border to it (or the area where you keep your icons) to give the illusion of a clear b/g. Kaleidoscope is a utility offering lots of customisation of the interface. It may do what you want - I've not used it. Aaron makes Sys 7 look like OS8. (Why would you want to do that?!)
