One of the reasons I wiped my hard drive and started everything over a few months ago was the way my desktop icons were rendering.* I couldn’t figure out why until about 2 minutes ago. Apparently for some stupid reason icon shadows don’t render right on a wallpaper that is in png format. When I first saw it was messed up again, I thought I was going to have to live with the stupid glitch again.After a few seconds I realized that I had just put a new wallpaper up and it was a png(left side of the image). I switched my wallpaper to a jpg(right side of the image) and it was instantly fixed. So, if you have ever had this problem, now you know how to fix it. Convert your png to a jpg with photoshop or pick a different wallpaper.**
After a little experimenting I realize that this glitch has nothing to do with the ie glitch of pngs not rendering the right color. But why it does this, only gates knows…
*there were plenty of other reasons too
**or you can just live with it
