Can i change the icon label and other window appearances

i used to do this is w7 and xp when i right-clicked the desktop/personalization and chose "classic windows". i would be presented with a view that would allow me to change the whole look of screens and etc in windows. i am frankly surprised i cannot do this is w11

here's what i did in w7 and xp,,,,,,

There's a discussion in post #4 of a TenForums thread about using a utility to do what you want. It shows the same diagram you posted:-

And there's a download link in post #6 for it.
As I understand it, the 'utility' is a rescued component from an earlier version of Windows. It works in Windows 10.
I don't think anybody confirmed in those threads that it would also work in Windows 11 but it probably will.

If I was going to do this I would make a new system image before starting.


Best of luck,
Denis

The relevant settings window was removed in Windows 10.

I have a script that can be used to change the default system font.

You can change the default Windows font from Segoe UI to anything you want. Here are the steps to change the default system font in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
