Is there a way to set background colour, or contour colour of the text under icon on the workbench screen?
I have a black bacground as a bacdrop, and the text is black
Changing colour of the text doesnt fix my problem
I remember in AOS3.9 it was in Text app in Prefs Text+background

Re: Background colour of text under icon
Open the Prefs drawer, then "Font".
Click on the "Workbench Icon Font" at the bottom of the page. Now you have a wide window labelled "Select Workbench desktop icon font".
You can select the style of the text under the icon (Text, Text + outline, etc). You can also select the colours of the text and the outline independently.
The row of colours "Text" selects the text colour, while the row "Field" selects the background colour.
I usually have white text with a black outline - it works no matter what the background picture shows.

Re: Background colour of text under icon
Try playing around with the "Mode" chooser under the Text and Background colour gadgets. You can choose Text+[something], where [something] can be Background, Outline or Shadow (English words might differ, I'm looking at the Danish translation). When one of those is selected, the corresponding second colour selector opens for use - and of course the resulting effect is shown in the preview underneath.

Re: Background colour of text under icon
Is that what you get when you click on the "Ff" button on the line "Workbench icon font" ?
If so, then the font prefs has been replaced by something else. I don't have anything like the "Font family" you show and I'm sure Niels hasn't either. It's a furphy.
My (our) font prefs is labelled "V53.6" from "10/5/2011", and it hasn't changed in OS4 since then. Do you have an Enhancer font replacement installed, perhaps?

There is no Enhancer font replacement as far as I know.tonyw wrote:Do you have an Enhancer font replacement installed, perhaps?
