Windows 10: How do you change the colour of icon highlights on the desktop?

I'd like to know how to change the colour of a selected icon highlight on the desktop, because otherwise it's always light blue no matter what colours you choose in the personalisation settings.I know it means editing the registry which I've tried already, but I've only managed to change the colour of selected text highlight, which isn't what I wanted to do.Thanks.

Cannot change desktop icon

Sometimes a desktop icon changes from what it was to a plain white folder. Might be something I did but not sure what.

To change it to the icon I want, I go:

1. Rt-click icon > Properties > Change icon
2. I select the icon I want from the thumbnails of icons.
3. Click OK
4. Click Apply

But the icon does not change. It just stays looking like a white folder.
HOWEVER, if I pin the icon to the taskbar, the icon on the taskbar does look like the icon I selected in step-2. So the change is registered with Win10 but the icon on the desktop just doesn't change.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Hi, Qttabbar (by Quizo) gives you lots of options to change colours in various areas of explorer and explorer related dialogues e.g. the control panel.

It adds tabs too.

(It doesn't change the borders or icons- that's done by other means).
