black oval backgrounds on icons

[ShaggyKids]

Hi there,

The words (app names) below the icons on my screen have black ovals behind the words. Is part of the Android OS or the theme? I'm still using a theme that came w/the phone. Thanks!

Bummer, but at least I won't spend hours looking for themes that will hide those ovals

there are 3rd party launchers such as launcher pro that have options to totally remove the wording under the icons

Well, at least until I know what these things are by sight, I will leave the words where they are. I'm lost enough without removing hints for myself, LOL!

Change your skin in settings to slate and you'll only get text, no ovals. Hit the little paint palate icon on the launch bar, then close skins, then slate and you'll be all set.
