Guest Nev Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 --XP Pro on a PC, using "Contemporary" and not "Classic" display mode. Neither "Font" nor "Display" in Control Panel shows how to change the icons title text color or font style. I need an unshadowed, solid font instead of the existing hard-to-read outlined & shadowed font.

Right-click the Desktop > "Properties" > "Appearance" tab > click the "Effects" button. This dialog allows you to change the font smoothing, and shadowing. Click OK. Next, (back at the appearance page) click "Advanced" button. In the "Item" dropdown list select "Icon" then change your font to what you want. You may have to play with the settings to get the desired effects. When you like the settings you have, select the "Themes" tab on the Display Properties dialog and click the "Save As" button to save it as a custom theme. Mark

Thanks for the procedures. Some of the "Item" features allow for text color change but, oddly, not for the icon text... or did I miss something?
