How can I change the text color of my icons in
Windows?
Question:
How can I change the text color of my icons in Windows?
Answer:
All versions of Microsoft Windows do not support the ability to
change the color of the icons text on the desktop without the aid of
a third-party program. Therefore in order to change the icon text
color you will need to download and install one of the below
programs.
Note: Before downloading any of the below programs it is
important to know that Microsoft Windows refreshes the contents of
the desktop often and will reset the icon text color back to the
Windows default unless the program you used to change the text
color is left open in memory.
There are dozens of different programs with the capability to do
this. Below is a short list of a few of the different programs we've
tried.
- Iconoid - Great
free and open source program with the ability to easily change the
icon text color as well as numerous other features such as hiding
the icons, setting and restoring icon positions, and much more.
- Microangelo - Another great program that is free to try
but requires a registration if you like. This program has the
ability to change the icons text color and much more.

additional information about disabling the drop shadow on the
text of your desktop icons.
