Desktop Colors

Warren Pearce

New user to Windows XP. How do I change the coloring of
the lettering on my desktop icons? It is white. I have
gone to appearance and set to classic and selected buttons
but still no luck.

Hi Warren,

By default in XP, it can't be manually changed. The text changes on its own
from dark to light depending on the color of the background. It is based on
the Desktop color not the Wallpaper. The combo is whether or not you are
using a Wallpaper and what the Desktop color is.
