I don’t know if it’s just me, but my desktop icons often lose drop shadow, and the selecting rectangle is of ugly dots and not alpha blended.
I wrote a small app that does the following:
HWND hwndProgman = FindWindowEx(NULL, NULL, TEXT("Progman"), NULL);
if (hwndProgman)
{
HWND hwndShell = FindWindowEx(hwndProgman, NULL, TEXT("SHELLDLL_DefView"), NULL);
if (hwndShell)
{
HWND hwndListView = FindWindowEx(hwndShell, NULL, TEXT("SysListView32"), NULL);
if (hwndListView)
{
DWORD style = ListView_GetExtendedListViewStyle(hwndListView);
style |= LVS_EX_DOUBLEBUFFER;
style |= LVS_EX_TRANSPARENTBKGND;
style |= LVS_EX_TRANSPARENTSHADOWTEXT;
ListView_SetExtendedListViewStyle(hwndListView, style);
}
}
}
Mine constantly does that, it’s not just you.

Does Aero Peek work for you?
If not, then you should simply apply this fix.
Aero peek works. I’m talking about desktop icons…
