Annoying text shadows on my desktop

Hello chaitanya:

I am not sure what you mean by "text shadow." Could you post a screen shot of what you describe?

My understanding is that it was possible to turn off the use of the white outline text / shadow font for items on the "Desktop" via a ".plist" key in earlier versions of "OS X", but apparently that feature is long gone.

It is often pointed out that items that have been given a Finder "label" will have their names in plain black text, improving legibility (eg. try control-clicking an item on the "Desktop" and choose a "Color label"). I think people have been known to set up "folder actions" to automatically add labels to items added to the "Desktop" folder...

Hello chai:

If bio's suggestion was helpful (it looked like it was to me) why not award (as the original poster) a "star?" I have plenty of points, but others will appreciate a "star" thank you.
