start menu icon background (W2K)

[Smile2Me]

Hi,

I installed SP3 for Win2k and now all my icons in the startmenu have a white background instead of transparent. Does anyone know how to tweak this in the registry? It is really ugly...

Thx, greetz,

Hmm, it seems that also some program specific icons have been infected. Propably the transparent is not treated correctly anymore...

What should I do?

Have you checked your Display Properties? I know that in my XP some of the icons have white backgrounds unless I have it set to 32 bit.

Yep, nothing there...

Dirk_Diggler gave this tip, its for XP. Maybe there is something similar you could try

Right-click "My Computer" select "Properties" click the "Advanced" tab, click the "Settings" button within the "Performance" section. Scroll down and put a tick in "Use drop shadows..."

Have you tried rebuilding your icons using TweakUI?

Uhh. no, but I is not a problem of the icons. Also my custom (program) icons (so not the onces of Windows) will be displayed with a white background. I guess it is a terminal bug in the kernel that neglects transparancy.
