When I go to System Properties under the advance tab I choose to change the settings for performance. This brings up a list of visual elements for windows xp. Everytime I uncheck drop shadows and hit ok or apply the window turns grey and doesn't change anything.
Wtf? Someone halp pl0x

Why would they icons be transparent?

? I thought getting rid of drop boxes got rid of the weird highlighting around the text of your icons

Why would you want to have it unchecked? It looks ugly

Checked
Unchecked
You have to tick the box in order to not have that grey/blue thing around the fonts and not untick it.

The file type of your wallpaper is probably .PNG which as a wallpaper in XP doesn't allow transparency.
