Changing compressed folder font colour

[Guest Herne Hunter6]

Hello.

 

I want to change the colour of the compressed file folders from the default

blue to something which is compatible with the window colour I want to use

for my theme. The default blue is unreadable with the window colour I want

to use. How can I do this (without changing each one individually)?

Windows Explorer>>Tools >> Folder options>>View Tab and uncheck this box:

[ ] Show encrypted or compressed NTFS files in color.

Click [OK], does it help?

Hi nass. thanks for the speedy response. I guess I wasn't clear enough. I

want the compressed folders to have a different colour font from the other

folder & files but not the blue which I can't read on the dark green

background I want to use.
