The ones you have to rename are called WallpaperIconShadow@2x~iphone.png and wallpapericondock~iphone@2x or something along those lines

They are in the springboard.app folder

Does this work for the black shadows behind icons in the multitask bar? I've done everything, but it still doesn't give me clear icons.

I've renamed the following files in the Springboard.app folder:
WallpaperIconShadow@2x~iphone.png
WallpaperDockIconShadow@2x~iphone.png
SwitcherIconShadow@2x~iphone.png
I've also renamed AppIconMask@2x~iphone.png in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileIcons.framework

I am running 4.2.1 on a 4th gen iPod Touch. Any help will be much appreciated.
