Alright,
I am currently customizing my Windows 11 experience to look more futuristic/cyberpunkish and have already changed the system font to Friz Quadrata Std but now what I'd really need to do would be to change the color Windows 11 uses for file names and folder names (default is white) to RGB values 220 177 99 as that would look great on my dark grey backdrops.
Any idea how I can achieve this, pretty please?

I made a screenshot to show what I mean:

2023-09-20T00:08:09.84+00:00 After much researching on my own (since noone answered regarding my specific question) I have found out that what I have asked is not easily possible, which of course is a shame for Windows.
Well, it is most likely possible with QTabBar but documentation for that tool is, to put it mildly, not exactly stellar.
I am thus now approaching this in an altogether different way and approach the Windows modder group VinstarTheme since they might know a way, perhaps utilizinh Rainmeter and other tools in combination :)
