    Desktop Icon Font Color--Any Hack to Change it to Black?

    Nope,, i dont think there is any way you can change the fonts color in Window Vista because as you know desktop wallpaper images have different colors, it is simply for all font colors to turn unreadable if they are in the same color as of the wallpaper image. For instance a black font on top of a dark part of the background image or a white font on a white part of a background image.But if still you want you can try out the following settings:

    • Go to Control Panel and click System.
    • Go to System Properties window and select Settings in the Performance Row under advanced tab.
    • Here scroll down and uncheck the "Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop". Click Apply, ok and close the window.


    See if it works.
