I can only see how to turn it off, but not to alter it. It was much more pleasant in XP. My desktop looks pretty nasty, which is a shame. Monday, June 22, AM. Hi John I agree, but the drop shadow was not meant to be aesthetically pleasing.
It was just meant to keep the icon text visible on a lighter background. If that light blue is the normal color you use, try this. Disable the drop shadows. Change the desktop background to pure White. This will turn the icon text Black. Select the Light Blue background again and the icon text should remain black which is a much crisper look than white with the drop shadows. I've looked everywhere for a working solution to removing the transparent boxes behind my desktop icons shown in an image I'll upload for you, although I imagine you're all very aware of what I'm talking about.
So, naturally. I've tried several suggestions such as dropping shadow, having an html image, replacing. So, without any luck I'm here asking if anyone can recommend me a solution. I hate to ask, any suggestions are appreciated greatly. Salmon Trout Guest.
What a very ugly desktop wallpaper that is! Not what I was after, but thanks, Allan. I believe it will solve your problem - try it. I tried it. If you disable the drop shadows for icon labels in the above screenshot and go to the Windows registry, you will notice that the setting ListviewShadow is disabled set to zero. Obviously, enabling or disabling this setting has no effect on the icon labels.
TIP : You may want to play around with another option called Smooth edges of screen font in the above screenshot. I also noticed that every time I cleared the option and applied the setting, the text on my browser window disappeared. Obviously, I decided to leave this setting to its default value. Hopefully, it will work for you too so give this a try. Right-click the Windows 10 Start button and select Settings.
In my example, I selected Seafoam teal. At this point you will still see shadows around the icon labels. Right-click Start button and select Task Manager. Look for Windows Explorer on the Processes tab. Right-click Windows Explorer and select Restart. You will see the drop shadows around the icon labels on your desktop disappear. I was willing to live without a background image on my desktop, as long as I could get rid of the shadows around the icon labels.

I always have to restart Windows Explorer step 2 to make it work. Thank you, thank you, thank you, on the steps for restarting windows explorer! The simplest solution would be to just make a script to restart explorer when the shadow appears.
