Customizing Your Fonts and Colours

Did you know that you can customize the fonts and colours of all the Windows First, here is how you would change the colours for a standard window (for example, the My Documents window) in Windows. 1.) Go to Start, > Control Panel 2.) Double click on the Display icon (for Windows XP, you'll probably have to switch to the Classic Control Panel view). Alternately, you could replace steps 1 and 2 by right clicking on your desktop and choosing Properties. 3.) In the Display Properties window, go to the Appearance tab and click the Advanced button.

4.) In the Advanced Appearance window, click the drop down menu labelled Item and click on Window. That should be on the bottom of the list. 5.) The Colour 1 box is the background colour and the Colour box is the text colour. You can click on the box and select a colour you would like for the background and the foreground (text). 6.) When you're finished, press OK for the Advanced Appearance window and OK for the Display Properties window. If you now go to any of your folders on the computer, the background and text colours should have changed to what you've selected.
