Windows 10: How can I change the color of the store app icons to white? OR something else?

I have some windows store icons on my task bar for quick use, and ALL of the color of the icons are black, I can't see them at all.


I am not changing my theme to suite the lack of customization, that would not be a fix but an unacceptable compromise, what I would like to be able to do is select whatever icon I want OR AT LEAST be able to change the color of the icon itself.


Thanks for any help.

Changing the taskbar color to white in Windows 10

Hi Michael,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community. Your interest in Windows 10 is much appreciated.

In Windows 10 there is no option for changing the color to white but you can change it to different colors. To change the color of the task bar I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

• In the search box, type settings.
• Then select personalization.
• Click on color option on the left side.
• You will find an option called “show color on start, taskbar and start icon”.
• You need to on the option and then you can change the color accordingly.

Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

Desktop Icon Color Change - Accessibility Option


Hello tenforums, I hope you can help.

A friend of mine who recently upgraded to Windows 10 is legally blind and is struggling with some accessibility options. Here is what we are struggling with: We need to change the font color of desktop icons to black. Certain contrasts are more visible for some impairments and in this case, a yellow background with black bold icon text is the best condition.

What I've tried:

• Tried high contrast theme / mode
• Tried to modify regedit based on a suggestion for 8.1 here.

Where I've looked:

• Control Panel - System - Advanced System Settings - Advanced - Performance
• Personalize - Change Desktop Icons
• Personalize - Colors
• Control Panel - Personalization
• Display Settings
• Themes - Theme Settings

I was able to get the text black when using the white high contrast mode, but that option won't work. While it does change the icon text to black, it also takes over many other options that deliver a less than desirable contrast for the user. We originally were thinking we could start with the high contrast theme, save as another theme and then systematically roll back the changes we didn't like, leaving the black text. Does not work - when in high contrast mode it effectively locks out your ability to make certain changes.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
