Change Icon Text Font Color Windows 8.1
Guest
I have two PC's, both running Windows 8.1
This question does not pertain to Windows 7 or earlier versions of the Windows Operating System.
On the 1st PC, the text displayed under the icons on the Desktop is completely black with no shadows.
On the 2nd PC the text displayed under the icons on the Desktop is white with a black shadow, even when the background color is solid white!
I want to change the color of the icon text on the 2nd PC to a solid black, as is present on the 1st PC.
I have been through the following with no success:
- Changed all personalization settings by right clicking and selecting Personalization on the desktop.
- Ran Regedit and tried changing, and comparing the Color Settings between the two PC's, under:
Within the Control Panel I have selected System, Advanced System Settings, Advanced, Performance, Visual Effects where I unchecked the "Use Drop Shadows for icon labels on the desktop". I verified that the ListViewShadow is being changed using Regedit at HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Microsoft, Windows, CurrentVersion, Explorer, Advanced yet there is still no affect upon the Desktop screen, even when rebooted. I also tried changing ListViewShadow directly in the registry, again with no affect.
I have read all of the similar threads that I could find on the Internet but nothing appears to work.
I would appreciate any answers, but please don't direct me to another thread that is for an earlier version of Windows or for which there are no specific answers pertaining to changing the color of the icon text in Windows 8.1.
