i'm using XP Silver & a very light wallpaper. the default text for the items on my desktop is so light i can't read them until i highlight them.

i switched to ClearType; now it just looks sloppy.

i want to get rid of the shadows altogether; how do i do that? already changed to NO "show shadows under menus" in Display Properties > Appearance > Effects, but it doesn't help on the desktop.

thanks, cake

thanks, bedstor. found i could do an edit, but "preview post" would be still be quicker/easier, IMHO, & no need for edit timeout.

just my opinion & experience on other forums (in fact, ALL other forums i'm a member of) that do have "preview post" option.

appreciate the info!
