Sorry to revive an old thread, but I have the same problem on Windows Server 2008 R2 (basically the same as Windows 7). As the background is fading when I change themes I see the shadow, but then it goes away (and on a light background leaves some ugly looking black around the white text). The selection rectangle and shadow were working a few weeks ago, but for some reson they stopped working. I know this isn't a vital Windows feature, but I really annoys me not to have it. I do have Aero enabled, working, etc. If anybody has the fix I would be very glad to get it.

Yes, it is strange that it will work if you let Windows choose and not
when you use Custom. Are you using the "Windows Aero" color scheme?

Drop shadow in icon text
Hi!
I'm confused. I have got enabled all options in Visual Effects tab. But
there are two features that are not working (Use drop shadows for icon
labels on the desktop and Show translucent selection rectangle) and I
have a image as wallpaper with a black color background selected. I have
installed Windows Vista Business with SP1.
Somebody knows what is happening?
Thanks in advance!

Hi NoAntz,
The shadows on your desktop icons may be blending in with the black
background. As a test, change it to something light to see if the shadow
is there.
Not sure why the translucent selection rectangle is not working for
you. Check here:

Hope this helps some,

Hi Brink!
Thank you for your answer. But I have got no results
If I change background color for my wallpaper, I can see that icon text
changes to black or to white, depending the color selected as
background. For example, if I select a yellow color (255, 255, 128) as
desktop background the icon labels on desktop appears white :-?
For the translucent selection container I have activate checkbox, but
the feature doesn't work. I make a test on a Window XP and I have same
behavior. When I access to Visual Effects tab a "Let Windows choose..."
option is selected and translucent selection container works. If a
select a custom option and I check all options and apply then
translucent selection container doesn't work and I can not be able to
make work now. Extrange, isn't it?
Thanks in advance
