What OS are you using?
On older Windows systems, like 98 and ME (not sure about 2000), the box holding the text will stay the color of the background color, and not the wallpaper. As far as I know there is no way to turn that off. In XP, however, it should be transparent.

Open System Properties | "Advanced" tab | Performance-->"Settings" button | "Visual Effects" tab | Scroll down to "Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop", and make sure it's checked.
