If you don't want any desktop icons, you could disable this feature in kcontrol: kcontrol->Desktop->Behavior->uncheck "Show icons on desktop".

Thank You

I knew that this'll be something simple.

But what about this color change. I can set font size, type but there's nothing about colors. I need this because when I use transparent Kicker and have dark wallpaper I can't see letters on taskbar.

There's a taskbar scheme, called For Transparency, which gives a special effect to the fonts to make them readable. You can find this options in the Panel configuration under the Taskbar section.

Note that this option only exists with KDE 3.5 or higher.
