Solution 1:

You an customize your desktop icon using Iconoid tool. Its freeware and easy to configure now you can do whatever you want with your desktop icon.

Solution 2:

Since the icon font is dynamic you have to find a work around.

Go into Control Panel. At the top there is an arrow by "Control Panel" click that and find Performance Information and Tools. Click it.

You should now be at a page where the machine gives you a base score. On the left hand panel click adjust visual effects. Now comes the fun part, click 'adjust for best appearance' and play with the boxes until your desired effect.
