Changing desktop icon text colour
How'd I change the colour of text for the icons on my desktop? Been routing through my Display options but cant find it!

You can work around it:

2. Click on Advanced Tab > Performance Settings
3. Select Custom
4. Check 'Use drop shadows for icon labels on desktop'
