D-Color XP is a lighweight software solution that allows you to tweak the Windows interface by changing the icon text foreground and background colors.
Although it's designed to serve such a minor purpose, D-Color XP comes with an impressive number of options, all accessible through a very user-friendly and simple interface.
Once installed, D-Color XP places an icon in the System Tray that provides you instant access not only to a number of features, but also to the main window of the application.
Speaking of the main window, this one allows you to change text color, background color and pick a color format, with multiple options available, as it follows: HTML hex, assembly hex, C/C++ hex, BASIC hex and long integer. In addition, D-Color XP provides a small color picker tool to choose a new color on the go.
Right-clicking the System Tray icon opens a new menu that lets you either configure D-Color XP or adjust some of its settings on the fly.
This mean you can either switch to large, small or tile icons on the desktop, automatically save icon layout, save or restore icon layout or configure the app to start with Windows.
As you can see, the application is pretty easy to use, but that doesn't necessarily mean that a help file is useless. In this regard, the package also comprises a help manual to guide user throughout the customization process.
As a conclusion, D-Color XP is a very handy software solution that lends you a hand when trying to change the way your desktop icons look. It's very easy to use and runs on very low computer resources.
