This is probably what bothers me most about Windows 7. Unlike Windows XP, the text on desktop icon looks "ugly" (on bright backgrounds).

Is there a way of having the desktop icon text look exactly like Windows XP?

Yes I have. It doesn't change anything. I have even tried disabling it.

I tried the font rendering, it didn't suit me too well. The fonts look a little blurry for me. It's not as good as Mac.
