I am blind in my right eye and the vision in my left eye is fading, I need to somehow change the color of the desktop icon font. I have increased the size of the icons as much as I can but the font is still white and I can't read it without a magnifier. Please help me

Well, I have tried and bow all my text fonts are red. I don;t know what I did but that's how it ended up. I did something that nade the text larger and I liked it but when I started my pc up the next morning it was back ti normal size and white. My vision is bad today after seeing my retina specialist. He decided I need to get injections in my eye for "Wet Macular Degeneration". Although they had numbed my eye, it doesn't feel so good after the numbing wore off. I have increased the size of everything on my pc and it looks like I am going to have to live with it for a while. I will be checking back to try everyone's suggestions again from time to time. I have always been able to figure things out on my pc but when you have limited vision it makes it harder. Thank you all for your help. I greatly appreciate it.
