    Changing Font Size of Desktop Icon Label


    Good day.

    I wish to know if there is a way to change the font size/style (bold, etc.) of the icon labels ONLY on the desktop screen.

    I've tried the Control Panel method (Appearance & Personalization -> Display) that allows me to change the fonts for 'ICONS'. However, this option also changes the appearance of fonts in the directories/filenames, which is not what I want.

    E.g. Labels on the desktop with size 12 and bold. Fonts in folders: size 9 and UNbolded (default style).

    Anyone have a solution for this?

    :)

    Font question

    Is there a way, in Windows 10, ver. 1709, to change the size and bold the fonts in dialogue boxes, tabs, icon labels, etc.?

    They all offer solutions that change font settings for both DESKTOP AND EXPLORER.

    I just wish to apply the font styles for icons on the desktop only.

    Anyone else know if this possible?

    I don't think so; not easily, anyway.
    The issue being that the desktop is the 'mainstage' of Explorer and is, in a manner of speaking, a folder in itself.
