Can I change the fonts of the icon on the desktop, as in XP?

Under XP, I was able to change the font of icons on my desktop.  I can do it in 7?  How?

How do you control the horizontal and vertical spacing between the icons?

tshinnic mentioned about this "place" where you can do that too. Right-click on the desktop > Personalize > in the lower pane: window color > avancΘs appearance... > from the list of items: spacing icon (horizontal/vertical)

    name under the icons on the desktop?  help please!

    How can I change the color of the name/title under the desktop icons, I know how to rename then, but his hard tosee the front they are white outline...

    Hi, Judy,.

    You can change the text size

    Control Panel > type the color scheme

    Select Customize

    Select display (left index finger)

    Under change only the size of text, select icon

    You can also check the option for "BOLD"

    Do not forget to click on apply when finished

    Because desktop wallpaper images have different colors, it is easy for the colors of unreadable fonts if they are on top of the same color in a background image to display. For example, a black font on top a dark part of the background image or a white font on a white part of a background image.

    The desktop icon fonts are dynamic and show white on dark background and change in white with a shadow effect black on a light background.

  • Can I change the captioned OS showing Chinese on toolbars, icons

    Hi people,

    Win XP 32 bit (English version)

    Can I change the OS captioned showing Chinese on toolbars, icons etc.

    After playing a bit on "Regional and Language Options" without result.
    I found that I can not "check mark" 'Apply all settings to the current user account and to the default user profile' permanently.
    After-> Apply-> OK-> restart, it unchecked at this point.

    IIRC it is possible. I did it about 9 years ago, when Windows XP came out.
    Any advice? TIA

    B.R.

    Hi mate

    I think you'd need to install a Chinese language pack for Win XP.

  • What happened to the bar that says 'file, edit' etc.? How can I change the font size to display Hotmail? Where can I access 'Cancel '? Thank you-

    How can I access the toolbar which includes "file, print" etc.? How can I change the font size of my hotmail home page? It used to be using "display".

    In Firefox 3.6 and later Windows, you can hide the menu bar on "view > toolbars" or via the contextual right click menu on a toolbar.
    Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key to bring up the menu bar temporarily.
    Go to "view > toolbars", right click on the menu bar, or press Alt + V T to select to show or hide toolbars (click on an entry to switch from the State).

  • How can I change the size of the desktop icons

    PC HP TouchSmart 520

    Windows 7 64 bit

    I can't change the size of the icons by right-clicking on the desktop.  There is no 'view' to change.  I have four items that appear; Graffiti, background, settings and Office Windows that changes the appearance of the office and did not have the carousel.

    It sounds like what you have on your screen is HP Magic Canvas and not Windows Desktop.

    Then, right click and select "Desktop Windows" to return to the real desktop. Then, if you want you can right click again and resize stuff.

  • Icons of Windows/folder/images virgins; can not change the background in the image.

    Thus,.

    I don't know what happened, but I had somehow the virus/trojan thingy goingonearth.com... I don't even know if it has nothing to do with my problem. I know that since discover and try to remove the virus/trojan said, I experienced a few problems:
    1. my file & image icons (tiles) were literally emptied in large mode. But there is NO icon file (photo). The text/image folder is still there. The REAL folder icon shows when using small icons, but if I switch to large icons, it extends a smaller and makes VERY pixelated (sp?) (photo). In any case, I have inserted screen captures.

    2. When you delete a file, I noticed the associated picture icon is black (photo).

    3. I can't change my desktop image using the photos, I can however change the solid color black color I want OR I can use a canvas photo and set it as my desktop. The icons below the screen background images is empty as well (photo).

    I can assure you that I unchecked the "always show icons, never thumbnails" option in the Folder Options under control panel (photo).

    ANY help would be appreciated, it drives me crazy.

    Thank you

    I never found a solution to this problem. I've just upgraded from Vista to Windows 8 and everything is fixed. Clearly.

    Hello

    How can I change the font color in Notepad? I recently saw a .srt file that shows the different font colors and when I opened it in Notepad, it appears from fonts to black as usual... ! The advice in this regard will be appreciated... !

    You cannot change the font color in Notepad. Why not use the WordPad integrated, or one of these freeware programs 'Office Like'.

    Have you checked or reset the screen resolution? - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Change-your-screen-resolution set it to the native resolution of the screen that you use.

    If your monitor is a separate monitor (not a laptop) has a button "auto configure"? If so press on that.

    It may be that you need to update your graphics card drivers. Get the latest available from the manufacturing of your PC web site and install them.
