Taken the plunge and have a couple of questions?

[snerkler]

I wasn't wanting to upgrade to Yosemite but have had to as I need RAW support for my Nikon D750 and I still can't get it on Mountain Lion. After my initial hatred towards the cartoon styling I have to say I don't actually mind it that much now. There's still a couple of irks though.

Firstly, my desktop is a studio shot with a white background and so text under folders etc on the desktop don't show up very well, is there a way to change font colour? Likewise with the dock, it doesn't show up that well, is there a way to make it stand out more?

Finally I find the folder colour very garish, it's actually quite hideous. I've found a blog that tells you how to change the colour without an app or 'hacking' the system, but you can only do one folder at a time and I'm not willing to do that for every folder. Is there another way. If anyone's interested here's the link

Any help appreciated

Natively, you can not change any font colour in OS X (not sure of any 3rd party methods).
--
You can change the colour of the dock and menu bar from white frost to a darker colour by doing the following:

1. Go into System Preferences
2. General
3. Use dark menu bar and Dock (check)

--
Other than the method listed on that website, and the "one-by-one" method you suggested, I don't know of any other way to change the colour of the folders. I never disliked the colour, but if you give it time you could probably get used to the colour

Thanks, that's useful re the dock colour. Shame you can't just change this without the top bar too
