Font Color for Desktop Icons

[BruceS]

Hi, All!

I saw in one of the previous posts that one cannot set the font color of the
desktop icons by using Display properties/Advanced. (I've tried. That
option is greyed out in the setting box.)

I tried setting the background to white (which results in black for the
font), then re-applying a photo that is used for the desktop background. The
font color switches back to white when the photo is loaded. Would like to
have it black because it is more readable with this picture.

Is there a registry entry that can be used to force the icon font color to
black or some other color?
Can some value in .theme file (IconFont, etc.) be modified?
Is there some other way?

Thanks,
Bruce

The only way to change the icon text color natively is to use a different
color background. Look at third-party theming/skinning solutions instead.
The www.wincustomize.com site is reputable.
