Sure...
right click on desktop->Personalize->Windows Color->Advanced Apperance Settings->Select Icon from the List->Make your Changes!!!!
Please note that Windows 7's look and handwriting is designed around SegoeUI...you might hurt yourself more than help if you change the font

i don't think you can do it from the control panel.
i think you're going to need a third-party tool. i haven't tried it myself, but it says it works in win 7, and it's free!
good luck!
or even better, try fences, they are cool, and also free - don't know how i forgot about them! they won't let you change the text colour, but they do improve legibility.Last edited by mickey megabyte; 23 Jul 2009 at 08:13. Reason: added fences

Can I ask why this post is marked SOLVED ?
There seems to be no way in the WIN7 settings to change the desktop font COLOUR, as the FONT item allows a change of FONT STYLE but the colour options are greyed out !!
Surely, with the idea being that we are supposed to be able to make OUR desktops look the way WE want, something as basic as this should be easy.

Trans Text still works. Just installed it on 32bt Seven. Have to turn off drop shadows for it to work.

I have searched high and low for a solution to the same problem. There seems to be no way to change the font color for desktop icons and the taskbar icons.
I am not willing to clutter up my computer with third party programs to do something that should be a trivial matter.
So much for a completely customizable OS . . .

Why does windows 7 have easy solutions to accessing complex programs but have difficult solutions for a simple change in color font on icons? My goodness, I have the same situation. I hope somebody can help, please.
