Welcome to the Seven Forums
The only way I know how to do it is to use a third-party program called Iconoid Iconoid - Hide and show desktop icons, maketransparent backgrounds I personally use it for changing the text color on the desktop but it also does many other things including what you want to do. You will also have to disable the drop shadows on the desktop.

thanks! this is exactly what i was looking for. the only problem was that it would keep making the classic tray and desktop icons disappear but i think i ended that by putting "never hide" on the "hiding bar".

You're welcome, I'm glad I was able to help.
There are several settings on that program.
