How to change the Desktop Icon font color

The font color of desktop icons doesn't change even after trying every solution found on the Internet.

I have tried to make the background-color orange and remove the shadows of the texts.

 

And even after setting the desktop background to white, the font is still white

And I dont know why, but there still seems to have some shadows under the text even after setting the visual effects to best performance.

I have also tried to change the color using some freewares, but it doesn't work

but I think the problem is that the shadows of the text are not removing, because the freewares stated that font color will change only if there are no drop down shadows and also I see some shadows under the text.

I have tried to reboot many times but it doesn't work.

Please give me a  solution as I want to have some light backgrounds, but the shadows of the texts and the white color is not making it comfortable.

Hi! My name is Anderson Souza. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you, I'll be glad to help you today.

The "best performance" configuration should have worked to remove font shadows. Let's try to edit the registry.

1- Open notepad
Win + R keyboard shortcut > type notepad.exe > hit enter

2- Cut and paste the following text in the new document

---- Select from below this line ----
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"ListviewShadow"=dword:00000000
---- Select until above this line

3- Save the file as RemoveIconFontShadow.reg in your Desktop.
If you saved the file correctly it must have the same icon as shown in the attached image.

4- Locate the file on your desktop and double click it. Confirm the operation.
5- Reboot the computer.

Let me know if this solved your font shadow problem.
