Invisible! (FREEWARE) - Invisible! is a small utility that gives you control
over the icons in your computer desktop.
Invisible! can make the background of these labels transparent
or colored and can change icon text color.
These features are not supported by Windows 95/98 desktop settings.
For this reason, you have to run Invisible! every time you start Windows.
If you choose Autorun, Invisible! will automatically run on Windows start-up.
If you do not like the colored block behind the icons of your desktop,
Invisible! is for you.
INVISIBLE! PRO (SHAREWARE) - Invisible! Pro adds some cool features to Invisible! freeware edition. First of all, you may rename Recycle Bin into any name (that is one of the most hidden secrets of windows...). Most important, you have the ability to "clear" your desktop with just one click. From tray icon or from popup menu, it's possible to: minimize, restore or close all windows; hide or show all desktop icons. Invisible! Pro gives you also a fast exit from windows: just one click to shutdown or reboot windows.

KNOWN PROBLEMS
--------------------------------
Invisible! and Invisible! Pro are perfectly compatible with windows95 and windows 98. Thousand people enjoy Invisible! programs without problems.
BUT if ACTIVE DESKTOP is enabled, both programs may not run properly: everytime user click on an icon, the colored block reappears. As far as I know, no solution was found until now. This problem is due both to transparency and active desktop features. The only way to get rid of reappearing colored block is HIT F5 KEY to refresh desktop.
