Font on desktop icons bug when Windows Themes!


Recommended Posts

I think I have found a bug when I switch Windows themes to anything other then "Windows 7" theme!

When you right click on a desktop icon and select "rename" from the context menu the font is very hard to see when any theme is used other then "Windows 7" theme.

With "Landscape" theme you can see the font a little. But with "light Auras", Nature and "theme for United States" you can not see the font at all.

Again this is when you right click on a desktop icon and select Rename.

My video card is an ATI Radeon 3850.

I sure hope this will be fixed before final comes out.

Anyone else have this issue?

Are you for real? Or just being funny? :) lol

Because the way you wrote "CRITICAL" it almost looks like your just being fuuny. And think this is not a very big deal.

Sometimes its hard to read what people are thinking with text. You know what I mean? :)

Anyway this is a very bad bug in my mind.

If you use a white backround as your wallpaper you can not see the font at all on the desktop icons when renameing them.

I think Microsoft should make it automatically change the glow to shadow and font color in windows/desktop to white when you have a dark background, and reverse that when you have a light (white) background. Or just be able to do that via menu.

And I'm sure "non.sequitur2" is just being sarcastic with you, but he passed the arse line with it. :)
