Change text colour of desktop icons on Windows 10

As the title says, is there any way to change the colour of text for the icons on your desktop in Windows 10?

I have a lot of nature backgrounds so white tends to blend in. I have made them bold but that isn't really enough.


Solution 1:

Is there any way to change the desktop icon text colour in Windows 10?

I struggled with this for some time but I found a way:

  • If you have the background set to picture, set it to Solid color.

  • Chances are it's black by default.

  • This is forcing a white font color regardless what you select for a picture.

  • Change it to say orange, which will make the font color black.

  • Now change the background back to picture, and you should have a black icon font color.
