How do I change the colour of the green font circled in red? My OS is windows xp home sp2 and Im using the classic xp high contrast white theme. The green font is part of the theme and I cannot change it through properties>appearance>advanced because its not the 1st or 2nd font color.
View 14 RepliesI have got this request from one of our Senior Group Members: I am desperately trying to change the font colour on my desktop from white to a colour that is more easily read. I have Windows XP and am now wondering if white printing on the desktop is not "set in concrete".

Every other issues, as starting XP's windows and I suppose, every other pages that I open daily, look normal. I start believing my son, but I think this is the funniest finding I have heard about and worries me a little, that is not so little.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have Windows XP Home Svc with svc pk. I have tried numerous times to change the fonts in OUTLOOK and nothing. I was always able to do this before.A little background. I ran into the same problem a poster here did with being booted out when I signed on. I kept getting the blue screen indicating a stop error. I worked for hours with MS and believe it was an ordeal because in the end I diagnosed and fixed the problem which had to do with disk scanning. Since then my settings are different and I have had to work really hard but I can't seem to get the font and font size correctly in my emails PLUS they are all my messages are now BOLDED.

I used to be able to have a digital clock displayed as my screen-saver . I think it was a marquis option.
Sometimes I fall asleep in front of the computer and wake up in the middle of the night This can be a little disorienting and I am always fumbling for my cell phone and I can't even read the display because my eyes are all blurry.
Would be so nice if I could get that big green floating digital clock back, as my screen saver.
It would also help when I'm rushing around and trying to get out of the house (condo)
