As the title says, is there any way to change the colour of text for the icons on your desktop in Windows 10?
I have a lot of nature backgrounds so white tends to blend in. I have made them bold but that isn't really enough.

I struggled with this for some time but I found a way:
If you have the background set to picture, set it to Solid color.
Chances are it's black by default.
This is forcing a white font color regardless what you select for a picture.
Change it to say orange, which will make the font color black.
Now change the background back to picture, and you should have a black icon font color.

Thank you for your answer! I have come across this solution but none of the solid colours available in Windows 10 seem to make the font colour black! I haven't even got white as a solid background colour to select? – Andy – 2015-12-19T12:29:20.350
2Sorry! Orange does make the text black - I'm not sure how I missed that. To be honest it hasn't made the icons anymore readable, but hopefully this question will still be of some help to other users. – Andy – 2015-12-19T15:36:54.763

Same here. Doesn't work with Orange. Using Windows 10 x64. This frustrated Win10 user reports the same: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-start/icon-label-text-color-will-not-change-and-drop/c237a16a-6d76-4f36-9496-d5a6e60d39de
