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. :)

    • Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
