Windows 7: change the font of the desktop icons?
Hello
I customized the office in light blue color. I find that the police for various programs icons are color of light and shadow behind it. Fonts are not well characterised. Can I know how to change the font of darker color and without shadow?
Thank you
Low
Hi Mr. Low,.
The font of the text icon and a great many other aspects of the appearace of window can be changed to:
Panel-> customize-> color of the window-> Advanced-> icon
Change the font and color.
To remove the shadow forllow the procedure below
A control panel display the value "large icons".
Under control-> system-> system settings panel advanced-> Performance
Uncheck the box "use shadows for icons on the desktop labels."
Allows you to diagnose and solve the problem. MCP

I installed windows 7 and the desktop icons and bar tasks are enormous
Original title: Windows 7
I installed windows 7 and the desktop icons and bar tasks are enormous, go to Web pages, I have to use the scrollbar at the bottom of page to see the other half of the page - he said could also be a driver problem, but don't know what I'm looking for - someone can help?
Hello
Yes, well part of the problem from the point of view of Dell is the only "acceptable" operating system for the Office of series 4600 XP. So they have no drivers 'official' for any function of Windows 7!
But first I need more information on the video card. Try this (on the Dell site): 4600 system is supplied either with the built-in car video or a dedicated real card video. You should know that you got. Right-click of your mouse on the desktop, click on Properties in the next area, you see. This will bring you into the display properties. Now click on settings at the top right of this next area, click Next on the advance . Now, click on the adapter on the top. Just below the upper on this last box, you will see your listed video adapter.
You will need this information, regardless of where you get help. My best recommendation is that you go to the community of Dell and after a question here. Someone may have already found one, but there is nothing official since the operating system is not officially supported.
I'm sorry, there is nothing more I can do.
Kind regards

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.

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.

You copy the new icon in the window read the information and then you paste the icon in the read information of the element you want to change.

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:
