How do I change my destop icon text from white to a darker color
On my Windows desktop my Icons are a white font color. I changed my
wallpaper, which had a dark background to one with a light background. My new background makes the text really hard to read. The background is now a light gray with the fonts being white. How do I change the text to a darker color? The icons themselves are fine and I do not want to touch them but it would be nice to have the text a darker color. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Cindy, my desktop background color is dark green so white text is fine for me, but you might try this approach -- do it carefully: My Computer Control Panel Display Appearance Advanced Item dropdown Selected Icons Font Color (dropdown) select to change to the desired color OK your way back out. Be sure you can retrace your steps if necessary to back out of this. I didn't try it myself. Ken Bland

I was not or did not mean to be sarcastic. I don't find a 'selected icons'
on my system. I thought he was using some other version of XP than the one I have. "Olórin" wrote in message ... "Justin Thyme" wrote in message ... Addendum: "Unknown" wrote in message ...
