Boxes around icons on desktop

How can I get rid of the boxes around each icon when it's hovered/selected on
the desktop? I find that very annoying, I tried to go to 'advanced system
settings' / settings / visualeffects, but putting off the 'show translucent
selection rectangle' didn't help.

thanks in advance,

Not unless you change to Windows Classic, its a feature of Windows Vista
Basic and AERO Themes.

Ok, that's too bad... I hope there will be a function for it in the final
release...
