Windows 10: my blue background is now black; icon text white. what happened?

my usual background of blue is now black

icon text white


how do I restore blue background?

tried restarting

no change


windows 10

:)

 

Cannot see the text on desktop icons because the text is black and the background very dark in most places.

My background image is the dark blue Microsoft Window scene. The text under the desktop icons is slender and black. How can I change the text color to white? It was easy to do in Windows 7!

 

problem on a few menus - white text on white background

G'day all.

I have two instances of having white text on white backgrounds. I use start10 by Stardock, and on its menus, items currently highlighted are showing white text on a white background. Other (non-highlighted) items display correctly.

I also noticed this same thing when Cortana displays something like my shopping list. If i ask her to display my shopping list, she does, and i can see the checkboxes, but the actual text of the list is not visible.

I sense this has something to do with system level font/color settings, but I can't find where this is controlled in Win10.

 

Is it possible to have black text on a white background?

I really want to buy a Lumia phone - perhaps the 425 or another budget model - but I find it very hard to read white text on a black background in text messages, menus etc.

Can anybody tell me whether it's possible to change the settings of the phone so that all the text, or at least the keyboard and text messages, appear like emails do with black text on a white background? Ideally I would like all text on the phone to appear
this way. Also, if it's not possible are there any other windows phones where it is?

Many thanks

Amy
