  • what screen recorder are u using??? please respond...

  • @MegaNotime recordmydesktop

  • there is no icon!

  • @lincaorain you can look around for a fix which can set the transparency @ 90% giving u a chance of accessing the icons on the desktop.. Basically the video will be an overlay on the desktop hiding the icons beneath.. that's the only fix i know..
