desktop fonts

[Lou Knee]

I am using windows XP and although I can change the size of the fonts for the icons I cannot change the colour. Is this how it is supposed to be or am I doing something wrong?

TIA....XXX

That's how it's meant to be. If you turn off wallpaper and set a dark background you will get white text; if you set a light background you will get black text.
