Icon Text Backgound Colors.

Is there a way to make the backgroud of the text on desktop icons transparent or if not what is the simplest way to make the changes to a different color.

An example of what I'm wanting to do I did it photoshop here...

You can't directly control the icon text colour - Windows (pre-XP) tries to choose a colour that contrasts with your set background colour (though not your wallpaper, which could be anything). Set your background colour in the Desktop Properties dialogue (on the Desktop tab) to something light, and the text should be rendered in a dark colour. XP handles things slightly differently, though (I think this only applies when you're using the XP scheme - IIRC it behaves like previous versions of Windows when using the classic shell look). When a background picture is used and text shadowing is switched on, it normally renders the text white with a black shadow. You can get around this with a third-party utility, such as D-Color:
