• Cannot change the font color on the desktop icons

  I am running windows vista. I can't change the font as in windows xp. No matter if the background is dark or the police is always black... Help!

  Hello

  Thanks for posting the question in Microsoft Answers.

  I apologise for the inconvenience.

  Unfortunately, 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.

  However, you can change the theme and see if that helps:

  You can change the type of font (Tahoma, Segoe UI, Ariel, Times New Roman, etc) in the section Customizing the control panel.  Choose the color of the window options, and then use the link options aspect advanced to access fonts.

  To get rid of the black shadow, type Word appearance in the start menu, then choose "change the appearance and performance of windows."  In the list, you can disable the option "use shadows for icons on the desktop" (near the bottom of the list).

• How can I restore my desktop icons and the taskbar icons

  I tried to open a file with a program's .lnk and her was not recognized in the program, and now my desktop icons and my icons to the taskbar was converted into icons for the program. How to get this back? I need to know how to do this in Windows 7.

  [Moved from comments]

  There are some patches for the issue that you siding, but most of them requires registry changes that I do not say that they can cause several other problems. I recommend that you perform a system restore.

  There are two ways to perform the system restore:

  Menu start open, click Run and type cmd to open the command prompt.

  Type CD... to book only c:\.

  Type windows CD then CD System32, and then restore.

  After once, you'll find yourself in c:\ windows\system32\restore >

  Type restrui.exe press ENTER.

  Once the system restore the open window then click on next to select any available restore point.

  This process takes a few minutes to do the restore and please make sure that once this process has begun there wont be reversible and or you will lose all personal data.

  Another way to perform the system restore is to open the safe mode by clicking on F8 at startup and check the option of safe mode, then still a dialog box opens to ask the system restore and then follow the steps above.

• Windows 7 64 bit, start slowing down, the desktop icons and taskbar of loading very slowly since last week!

  so first, I'll start with my system features:

  Reference Dell Xps15z
  Intel Core i7 - 2640M to 2.8 ghz
  NVIDIA GT525M 2 GB
  8 GB RAM
  Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 64-bit
  Samsung PM830 SSD 2.5 "7 GB 218, 42 GB of free
  My laptop is now just a year and plays well outside some blue screen errors that have been fixed. The question now is time to start being significantly slower, especially the loading of the office. It takes 15 seconds to the password screen, to 45 seconds to reach the office and another 45 seconds to the taskbar, icons and things on the desktop to load. What is unusual is that during this black screen, my mouse is displayed, as well as for Advanced System Care 6 performance monitor (I doubt that this is the problem as I had installed for some time). I did the troubleshooting on mine and removed about half of my program without success. I also checked the health and performance of my SSD with SSD and SSD life and both seem to be very positive. I did not any changes to the Bios because I don't want to reinstall my OS and I'm not really sure on workarounds.
  I tried also to the difficulty of the task of explorer.exe, by checking the value of shell in the registry and it is correct, that it just load slowly at the start and each time I kill and then open it again in the Task Manager. Therefore, I think that my main problem is with explorer.exe loading slowly for some reason, I also removed some desktop icons and taskbar, although I doubt that it makes much difference.
  I've also done many scans with malware bytes pro and hitman pro, there is no virus on my computer.
  I appreciate any help, as it is very inconvenient for my more than 90 seconds start time, when he was about 20 when the laptop was new.
  Thank you very much for your help!
  P.S. I have about 60 GB of games installed on my pc via steam, if it makes a difference to delete some

  When my Windows 7 is slow to start, I do the following:

  Start, then in the search box, type of race. In run, type "msconfig"(sans guillemets), and then click OK. ""
  In the general tab, make sure that selective startup is selected.
  Under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.
  Then go to the Startup tab and disable everything except software antivirus and important such as the microsoft. In addition, DO NOT disable any program that you do not recognize.
  This will disable any unnecessary background programs and prevent to launch at startup.
  NOTE: you can still start programs even if they do not start at startup. For example, your favorite game is one of them, and you the disabled. Now, the game does not start at startup, but if you click on the game icon later, it will always start, except maybe a bit slower when it starts. Basically, you are delaying the start of programmes which does not need to start at startup, you move a part of the start-up BACK period. The only programs that you do not disable is programs that actually need to start (like if it starts your computer will blow or something similar).

• How to change the font of the title bar of the JFrame icon context menu?

  Hello world.

  I want to know how to change the font of the text that appears in the context menu is native to click with the right button on the icon that is completely left in the title bar of JFrames which use the default appearance for decoration (JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated (true); / / uses the metal L & F, theme "Océans").

  I searched and found nothing. I thought I could use what I learned to https://forums.oracle.com/message/9221826, but I couldn't find something that worked.

  Thanks to advance.t

  After a few more messing around, I finally did! I love so much it makes me a little sad Java how it is difficult to do things like that. In any case, I found a method here to recursively change the fonts of all components in a JFileChooser, but it does not work on the JPopupMenu (now I know the name) who jumps to the top of the icon in the title bar. So I messed around with this method a few casting and was able to change the fonts of the JMenuItems:

  public static void setSubComponentFont (Component comp[], Font font) {
      for (int x = 0; x < comp.length; x++) {
          if (comp[x] instanceof Container) {
              setSubComponentFont(((Container)comp[x]).getComponents(), font);
          }
          try {
              //comp[x].setFont(font);
              if (comp[x].toString().contains("JMenu")) {
                  for (Component y : ((JMenu)comp[x]).getPopupMenu().getComponents()) {
                      if (y.toString().contains("JMenu")) {
                          y.setFont(font);
                      }
                  }
              }
          } catch (Exception ex) {}
      }
  }
  

  I was inspired by this thread of utiliser.toString () .contains ().

  I also did with nested loops, so the path to the menu items can be seen:

  for (Component a : frame.getLayeredPane().getComponents()) {
      System.out.println(a.toString());
      if (a.toString().contains("MetalTitlePane")) {
          for (Component b : ((Container)a).getComponents()) {
              System.out.println(b.toString());
              if (b.toString().contains("SystemMenuBar")) {
                  for (Component c : ((Container)b).getComponents()) {
                      System.out.println(c.toString());
                      for (Component d : ((JMenu)c).getPopupMenu().getComponents()) {
                          System.out.println(d.toString());
                          if (d.toString().contains("JMenu")) {
                              d.setFont(font);
                          }
                      }
                  }
              }
          }
      }
  }
  

  Each System.out.println () gives an indication of what should go on what follows if State, so they should be used one at a time. This does not work for the title of the JFileChooser however font. When I have time I'll either look no further away inside or ask another question.

  So, if someone else needs like I did, it's here. As a tip, System.out.println () and. toString() are your friends! That's how I learned what was contained in each object, and which path I needed to take to get to objects of interest.

  Thanks anyway!

• How can I change the font size on my tab headings and bookmarks menu? The fonts have inexplicably increased in size and I can't find an option to change them.

  Without any evident input from any of the users on my PC, the police in my topics tab, field toolbar and bookmark URL has increased. I can't find any options to make them smaller. I changed the font for my content page and main menu but I'm stuck with large large fonts out of proportion to the securities tab, toolbar field and bookmarks URLs.
