Anyone know how to find out what color the text of the desktop icons are
using VDS?

Thanks,

Try looking in the registry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors

You can use my System Colors DSU.

I did, and I can't find any reference to the desktop icon text color.

If I remember correctly, windows selects the color automatically based
on the color of the desktop and or the wallpaper. We can't adjust the
desktop icon text color. Which is fine, since I only need to know the
color so I can adjust the color of some text in my program.

Does it just grab the info from the same registry location as noted above?

To be more specific:

@regread(HCU,"Control Panel\Colors",Background)

The Icon text background inherits the desktop background color.

It uses GetSysColor from the user32.dll to get the colors
