i did, but the icon text is still solid.... do i have to load a theme? cause i don't want a new theme, i just want the icon text to be clear so it won't ugly-fy my desktop....

If you have Windows XP, you can do that without WindowBlinds.
Control Panel > System > Advanced > Performance Settings > Use drop shadows...
