Changing compressed folder font colour

[Herne Hunter6]

Hello.

I want to change the colour of the compressed file folders from the default
blue to something which is compatible with the window colour I want to use
for my theme. The default blue is unreadable with the window colour I want
to use. How can I do this (without changing each one individually)?

TweakUI will change the colour.

Windows Explorer>>Tools >> Folder options>>View Tab and uncheck this box:
[ ] Show encrypted or compressed NTFS files in color.
Click [OK], does it help?

Hi nass. thanks for the speedy response. I guess I wasn't clear enough. I
want the compressed folders to have a different colour font from the other
folder & files but not the blue which I can't read on the dark green
background I want to use.

Hi Herne,
