  Change the screen resolution

  Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

  See you soon.

• font size change the desktop icons

  Suddenly, my desktop icons have the image or the text on them reduced to be very small. The background is always the same size, but the stuff on the icon are almost invisible

  Right-click on the icon START, and then select Properties. Click the Customize button. Scroll down to almost the bottom. Put a check mark in the use of large icons.

  Was she?
  Second options is to right-click on the desktop and select Personalize. Click on display. By default Windows is the smallest value, but you may have this set of medium-sized or large and an update reset default.
  Hope that helps

• Problems, change the desktop icons

  I have a MacBook Air from mid-2013 & I'm under OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.1.  I wanted to upload a few new icons for my office & final instructions told me to find the folder I wanted to change in the Finder, after downloading (at first I tried ics icons, then NCIS icons) the icons I wanted to use. He explained then click the folder you want to edit and click on 'Get info '.  Then I was to copy the new icon & then go back to the folder in the finder and in the upper left corner was a small blue folder, click on it until he described in blue & then click on paste. Did not work. Now instead of a blue folder, I have an icon White w / the 'preview icon"on it & letters ICO.  If I use an ics icon I get the same thing, but it has JPEG on it. Help, please! Thank you.

  You need to update to OS X 10.11.6.

• How can I change the color of the title/name under the desktop icons?

  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.

• 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:

  How can I lock you the desktop icons so that they change their position? I use windows 7.

  Try this:

  Right-click on an empty area of the desktop (not on an icon).

  In the menu that appears, move your mouse over "display".

  Is there a check mark next to "reorganization automatic icons? If so, click it to remove the check mark.

  The desktop icons all try to open with the same program, so for most fail. Restart doen't fix it. Restore to a previous point failed to 3 different restore times. Open programs from the Start button, but the link to transfer on the table, they come back to the same type of icon.
