Changing Font Color on icons on desktop?

In Win98 I was able to change the color under the icons of the fonts. I can
change the font but the color option is greyed out? Is there a way to change
the color of the font in XP under the icons? It is real annoying when I have
a light colored background and the font color is white and I cant seem to
figure out how to change it.

TIA
 
Right-click on your desktop, click appearance, click advanced - you can
change all sorts of stuff in here!

Click to expand...
I know where the properties and advanced options are the options for icons
and changing the text color is greyed out... That was my question...
 
The color of the font for the desktop icons is black or white. It varies between them depending on the color of the background not the wallpaper.

Hy !

I found - after hours of trying ;-) - the following setting:

Open the control panel and select "system" -> advanced -> performance -> settings .
On tab "visual effects" - deselect the checkbox "use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop".
I do not wonder about windows anyway, but the position of this setting is very strange - billy knows why ;-)

have fun
