changing colour of folder names text?

You're Welcome stilts!

"...you can select lots of folders at the same time...dont have to get info just highlight, ctrl click"
Good points!

"...still rather just change the colour of text..."
Just as there is no method in OS X, to change the font or color of the Menubar, I doubt there is a native procedure to change the folder labels.

There may be Third-Party utilites, but I don't know of any specifically.

And Thank You, for extending the courtesy, of awarding in  Discussions, as this is not a requirement, nor mandatory, but is much appreciated!

Hi stilts!

Try this;

On the folders you wish to change, click once on the icon to highlight.
Press the  Command + I keys to Get Info.
In the window that opens, where is says Color label:, click on a color you prefer.

The color of the text remains black, but it is not enclosed in a colored box.

Unfortunately, you must do this for each folder, you wish to change.
Perhaps, a better solution, would be to open System Preferences > Display: and in here adjust the Brightness & Contrast sliders.

Or in System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing: here, under Display:, select White on Black.

Hi

I've looked n looked before now, and just did again - can't find anything via google on changing the finder font color. I have my finder background set to a nice drab grey, which is less jarring on the eyes, but allows the black text to be visible.
