Tomm Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 I don't think you can do it... Not without downloading some program anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawnmowerman Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 I attempted it, didnt get very far. I now have random bits of red text all over the place, its pretty cool actually :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montstar Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 A little bit off topic, but if you cant change the colour of the text.....remove them completely... Right click the icon and select [Rename] Name the icon Alt+255 and hit Enter ( this means you hold down the Alt key and type 255 then release the Alt key ) The text will be gone from the icon. For each successive icon to have the text eliminated, repeat the above sequence adding an additional Alt+255 sequence. For example, the second no text icon would be 'renamed' Alt+255 Alt+255, the third no text icon Alt+255 Alt+255 Alt+255, etc. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you need to make sure that num lock is on and that you are using the num pad at the right of the keyboard. And that you are using the left alt key. If you still can't get your head around that, you can paste " " (What's between the marks). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
