Transperent icons in win2k? does anyone here know how to get them?. They clash to much with the background meaning I afto change the colour of the desktop.

Raz

I got all the samurize scripts at the samurize download page.
I'd also love to know about transparent win2K icons. (Or would it be a transparent background colour?)

OfflerCrocGod

Transperant background colour for the Icons like in WinXP so the icon text blends with the wallpaper and doesn't need to be changed to something else.

How do u make icon text backgrounds in Win 2k transparent?

And is there any way I can get a nice looking toolbar for Win 2k I hate this launchbar.:(

OfflerCrocGod

Chowley so far three ppl have asked that same question and no answer has been fortwith, I know it can be done I've read about it on the net that there is a small util to do it for you but after searching around on the net I'ver found nada:(, I'd really like transparent icon text backgrounds.

1. download MicroAngelo, and use OnDisplay feature, has loads of options

2. buy Transparentis, and later don't be greedy share it with me!

I'm sure you can figure out what to do with this stuff Raz! If I've forgotten any files tell me.

Nice work there Einstürzende. It's a very neat job, and fits quite nicely with the wallpaper. Actually I'm starting to think I have too much info on my own and it's strating to look cluttered. This is it now

Erm, you've probably already tried this (but remember here I'm a Samurize n00b! ), to get mine to work (not in previous pic) I just changed the max graph value to 20 (the size of my HDD in GB). It was originally set at 100, and wasn't working. That worked for me.

Raz

You may be a noob Einstürzende but so am I and you sure as hell solved my problem
I also set the progress bars to measure used space instead of free space.

This is how it looks now,

Would it earn me more brownie points Dave if I told you the Digital4 folder contained info on Design for Test and HDL?
Cheers for the help guys
