    Hi,

    Text colors can be change by setting your desktop the way you want it and using themes. Try the following steps and see if it can help change the icons text color:

    • Go to Settings.
    • Select Personalization.
    • Click Colors.
    • Choose High contrast settings.
    • Choose a theme and set the colors you want to use on each options shown.
    • Click Apply and wait for the changes to take effect.
    • You can try setting different colors that will suit your taste.

    Also, if you're using a picture for background, make sure to change and set it to
    solid color as another workaround.

    If anything comes up, don't hesitate to get back to us anytime.
