First of all, excuse my bad English, but we do not speak/write a lot of English in Switzerland

This is a great piece of Software !! I have installed it today and I'm really, really happy. It is just what I was lookin for ...

Just a litte thing, which I'm not sure if this is a limitation of your Software (or mabye .net framwork?) or if I didn't made the correct settings. When I choose a background image with an gradiant, I still have the backgroundcolor of the system settings behind my icons (and the text of the icons). Is there anything that I can do about it or do I have to live with it?

That is from a setting in your windows AFAIK. Give me a little and I should be able to find it.

Exactly what do you mean by a gradient? Is it just a picture of one, or does it actually degrade into your desktop BG color?

Attached you find my complete Backgroundimage from the example. You can see that the color at the top is a dark gray and at the bottom it is a lighter grey. So therefore I can't set the correct color in the "Windows XP display properties".
When I use the same background image on the display properties all my icon's (and the text) are displayed correctly.

I would be thankful if you could get my a hint, where I have to make some changes on my XP settings. I thought that I have tried everything, but you as a pro will certainly have an idea ...

PROBLEM SOLVED

pyrobob was right, it was a configuration thing.
Go to the display settings. On the Tab "Desktop Settings" = Button "Customize Desktop"
In the new Window click on the "Web" Tab. The checkbox "Lock web items on desktop." was active. Everything was perfect as soon as I deactived this checkbox!

Cheers to all and again, great Product jtackabury !!! I LOVE IT
