Change color of font on desktop

I love my desktop image, but some areas are white, making it impossible to read the white description under the icons. Can I change the font to black?

Of our employee Ronnie Vernon:
You cannot change the font color of desktop.
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.
In previous versions of Windows, it did not matter what color you chose to fund policies, some would still make invisible because of the background color of a desktop wallpaper. The user was constantly moving icons around the desktop computer to another colorful area where the police could be read. This was the source of a large number of complaints from users asking for a policy that was still visible, regardless of the color that was behind the police.
The police white/shadow solves this problem.

  • color and font size will not change in emails, blogs, forums, etc.

    I can change is more the style or color of fonts in emails, blogs, forums, etc. I can change the font size and nothing else. Everything works when I'm connected using the Explorer is a parameter or a firefox update that is the cause of the problem. If I cut/copy and paste into a word from a web site document I can't yet make a change. If I copy a word document in a web site, the colors and the fonts back to default setting. I tried to change the setting in the fonts and colours Options, they make changes, but they do not solve the problem.

    Hello

    Please check if this happens in a new profile. If it's good, you can later copy the personal data of the old profile. Firefox stores your personal data and settings to another separate location of the files/folder. A new profile would default Firefox settings (Tools (Alt + T) > Options and topic: config ) and usually also would be vacuum of Extensions and themes (appearance) in Tools > Add-ons) and their parameters. In addition, a new profile would have no previous stored site data/settings etc. (Tools > clear recent history).

    If you ask about the text than the tabs labels, they are all the same.

  • The appearance of my desktop has changed. The font type is smaller.

    Why would change the appearance of my desktop?  Everything is smaller, even on Facebook, etc.

    Hello

    Ok. If we are talking about smaller type face which can be adjusted as described in the following links until the screen seems acceptable to you.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/make-the-text-on-your-screen-larger-or-smaller

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/ways-to-improve-display-quality

    If ALL literally got the smaller on the screen, it seems that the resolution has been increased.  The answer would then be reduced how the resolution - here are:

    Open display settings by clicking the Start button. Select Control Panel, then choose "Customize" then choose "change display settings.

    Whatever it is fixed to, choose a lower resolution will increase the size of all the elements on the screen by reducing the resolution. Adjust the display to a resolution where you are comfortable with the size of the icons and elements on the screen and you should be good to go.

    Hope this helps,

  • How to change color in CS5 only the font that I pointed out

    Hello

    I am a guardian of the computer, not a web developer. But I know HTML and created my own website using Dreamweaver 8. I just installed Dreamweaver CS5 and am immediately having my first problem:

    I want to change the color of text that I have highlighted on my home page. First of all, the change of the color seems more difficult. In Dreamweaver 8, there was a touch of color in the Properties section on the bottom, but now it seems that I have to click on Format to go through a series of steps, fill out the information. Is in any way simply choose a color (as you would in MS Word)?

    The biggest problem, however, is that when I change the color of the highlight text, half of the text on the page changes color as well. This never happened in Dreamweaver 8. I'm doing something wrong. Is there a way to fix this problem. All I want to do is change a text color without changing the entire Web page.

    If it helps you can consult my Web site home page: http://www.karathecomputertutor.com

    Thank you!

    Kara

    The color is always in the Properties window.  On the left side, the property was split into HTML and CSS.  CSS controls the color, alignment, style, etc., while the HTML controls bind attributes and other actions like that.

    Also, be careful with the CSS classes.  If other elements on the page using the same CSS class it will change the color of these elements as well.

    Unfortunately, because of all the differences in browsers and web design rendering is not as print layout where you can drag-and - drop and just wait until it is.  But like InDesign, you can define the classes (styles in InDesign) to reuse the styles on a page if you need to use more than once which makes it extensible simpler designs while before you need to reselect the same styles of colors/now you can simply assign the class to this piece of code and you're good to go.

  • Hi, my places.sqlite file size is 30 720 KB I reached the maximum size, is there a maximum size for this. Visited links are is more changing color.

    Hello
    My places.sqlite file size is 30 720 KB I reached the maximum size, is there a maximum size for this.
    Suddenly the visited links don't change is no longer the font color, that I prepare for an exam, I need visited issues to change color, to follow up on issues that I ended. But if I delete a few days of history, then again once, most visited links change color and then it stops, it seems that something is getting full and not able to accommodate more? Why my visited links don't change color after a number of visits? I would like to make a back up of the file places.sqlite. So I tried everything to remove the profile, uninstalling reinstalling, creating a new profile, and then copy paste places.sqlite etc, but as mentioned after a few visits, visited links is no longer change color, if I delete a few days in history and then a few visits is again change color and then stop again, so what should I increase so that my quota of visited links is increased , I also tried tweaking about: config and there has been no result. Although I was not really convinced that _pages growing brower.history_max (don't remember the name, but I'm sure you get the idea) will help.
    Seems that while my visited links change color, quota is met and only if I delete the history of a few days will I get some links most visited to change color. Can someone enlighten us? As mentioned that my places.sqlite file size is 30 720 KB so I think maybe this has something to do with it? Would be very grateful if someone could help me. Thank you.

    Sorry it is not looking good.

    1. Unlike bookmarks history is not saved in Firefox.
    2. There is a possibility using Windows.
    3. Sync is not expected to back up things until the synchronization server
    4. If places.sqlite does not sort itself you may have to re-create remove it. You will lose your history, but can still access indirectly IF you have saved a copy of the appropriate
    5. Different databases to try to create new profiles
    1. History
      is rather less robust than bookmarks, you should deliberately somehow return it upward, but it's too late now
    2. Earlier versions of Windows
      This is really the last chance. Make sure you have some places.sqlite you saved. Always before and after any attempt to restore the backup. Windows must be able to provide a previous version. One of these versions may be usable as is; or can be used after a repair with housekeeping. Of course, this is not the latest version but it should help.
    3. Sync is not a server backup service.
      Sync is intended to save on another device, no backup is the fact that the second device then contains synchronized information. IIRC Sync development ceased, and the replacement when available may include a server backup option.
    4. Recreate the database of bookmarks (including history)
      Unfortunately, recess can only use saved bookmarks, there is no saved history to use. Once the database is re-created, it will continue to store the history but it loses the existing history. This time take steps to save on a regular basis.
    5. Use the new profiles for database testing.

    To simplify comparison of the results of the database different files create one or more new additional profiles. Then try to smash the places.sqlite file into the test profile with any other places.sqlite, you want to try. Allows you to directly compare the databases, without seeking to use sync and without changing the Firefox profile work unnecessarily. You can keep a reference profile of studies with the best of the profiles of any shows results of history; According to the best recreated or corrupted database is.
    • Use the Profile Manager to create and delete profiles Firefox
    • CARE, do not rename or delete profiles created once or use anything other than empty folders when they are created. Don't nest in the other profiles. (At least until you know exactly how it behaves - post back if you never consider such actions)

    Hello

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • You can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. It might help others who have the same problem.

  • How do I change my windows fonts style 8

    I use windows 8 pro version and I want to know how to change my font style as in windows 7

    Hi Girigirish,

    Thank you for posting.

    You cannot change the default font or the color of the font used for items in Windows. But you can expand all text (and other things like icons) on your screen, or you can change the size of the text to specific items without changing the size of anything else on the screen.

    See this link to change the font size:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/make-text-screen-larger-smaller

    To install a new font on your PC, first you must download it from a Web site, network or software.

    Once the policy is downloaded, press on and hold or right-click the font you want to install, and then press or click on install.

    Tip: You can also install a font by dragging in the fonts in Control Panel.

    You can go to the Microsoft typography Web site to find a list of distributors of fonts. Some distributors give their fonts for free, but more money.

    Warning: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.
