  1. font color on desktop


    Windows must have recently made an update as the desktop background that I had was changed to a picture. I changed it back to a solid color but now the text it almost impossible to read. It is white with a black shadow. I want it to just be black text. Anyone know how to change it. I have done some of the recommended stuff and none of it has worked.


    I hate when they do that....if I wanted different backgrounds, I would do it myself.


    TIA

    :)

    Hello,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    In order to get clarity and to assist you with appropriate troubleshooting steps, please reply with the answer to the question below:

    Are you trying to change the color of the system fonts? Or are you trying to change the color in a particular application?

    I understand your query, to change the font color I suggest you to make few changes in the Personalization settings and check if that helps:

    To do that,

    1. Tap on Windows + I
    on the keyboard.

    2. Click on the Personalization option.

    3. Now click on Colors option.

    4. Click on the preferred color from the list of colors.

    We await your response.

    Hello,

    I found these steps in this forum from back in 2010:

    Step 1:

    I would suggest you to try these steps and check whether it helps in fixing your issue.

    Open font settings by clicking on start, click on control panel, and then click on appearance and personalization, under fonts click on change font settings. And select the font size.

    Step 2:

    If you’re trying to change windows font size then please follow the steps below:

    To change Windows fonts

    1. Open Appearance Settings by clicking the Start button and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type window color, and then click Change window colors and
    metrics
    .

    2. In the Item list, click the part of Windows that you want to change the font for. For example, if you want to change the menu font, click Menu in the list. Then, make any of the following changes:

    · In the Font list, click the font that you want to use.

    · In the Size list, click the font size that you want.

    · In the Color list, click the font color that you want.

    3. Repeat these steps for each item that you want to make changes to, and then click OK.

    Does that help?
