Windows 8.1 Tab text colours

[2zqa]

Hello people of this forum!

I'm new, so please pardon if I do something stupid.

Today I gave my desktop a makeover. New wallpaper and a new tab colour (black). This all looks very cool, but I can hardly read the tab title when the colour is black. Easy solution you'd say: Just change the colour to a lighter black. But I like the style; my desktop wallpaper is black.. so it looks awesome with it.

I tried using high contrast mode, but that also changes other graphics I don't want.
I am also open for 3d party programs to use! Aslong it's free ;-)

A snapshot of what I mean:

Thanks,

To address the issue where the tab title is challenging to read due to a black background on your desktop, here are a few solutions: 1. Desktop Shortcut Text Background: - Right-click on your desktop and select "Personalize." - Click on "Colors" in the left pane. - Adjust the color intensity under "Other settings" (usually accessed by selecting the last color in the list) to make the text more readable. 2. Accessibility Features: - Windows 10 provides accessibility features like adjusting text contrast, size, and color to improve readability. Go to Settings > Ease of Access to explore these customization options. 3. Customize Windows Themes: - Create a custom high contrast theme by going to "Personalize" in the desktop's context menu. Choose a high contrast theme and customize the colors to suit your preferences. 4. Third-Party Tools: - Explore third-party applications that allow advanced desktop customization. "WindowBlinds" and "Stardock Curtains" are popular options that offer extensive theme and customization features. 5. Text Shadow: - Some desktop customization tools offer options to add shadows to text, which can enhance readability against darker backgrounds. Look for settings related to text shadow effects. 6. Visual Styles: - Consider looking for Windows visual styles or themes that are designed for readability and usability. Websites like "DeviantArt" have a wide range of themes suitable for different preferences. Remember to experiment with various options until you find the one that best suits your readability needs while maintaining the aesthetic appeal of your desktop.
