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. :)

    • Can you read? I've said I'm willing to pay more for a notchless (no notch) 3:2 screen.
    • Not even an OLED display on the laptops. Also it seems that the laptop design isn't the same as the Surface Ultra model. Looks like bargain bin at high prices.
    • make your own notch - it's not that hard
    • VirtualBox 7.2.10 by Razvan Serea VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software. Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Solaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, 7, 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4, 2.6, 3.x, 4.x, 5.x and 6.x), Solaris and OpenSolaris, OS/2, OpenBSD, NetBSD and FreeBSD. Some of the features of VirtualBox are: Modularity. VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming interfaces and a client/server design. This makes it easy to control it from several interfaces at once: for example, you can start a virtual machine in a typical virtual machine GUI and then control that machine from the command line, or possibly remotely. VirtualBox also comes with a full Software Development Kit: even though it is Open Source Software, you don't have to hack the source to write a new interface for VirtualBox. Virtual machine descriptions in XML. The configuration settings of virtual machines are stored entirely in XML and are independent of the local machines. Virtual machine definitions can therefore easily be ported to other computers.
