I somehow changed the appearance of my desktop icons
after copying a .tif file to my desktop. My background
is a family photograph. The text (icon description)
under each icon used to be white, with the photo visible
all around the text. Now, there is a colored box under
each icon with the text in it, covering parts of the
photo. It is driving me crazy, as I cannot figure out
how to elimate the box.
