Windows 10: I can't change font colors in Microsoft Paint 11.

I have followed all the directions again and again, with all different files. Nothing works. Someone told me it's because Paint is being phased out. Is that true? What can I replace it with that won't cost me a fortune? Every now and then I create my own PNG files and want to add some type to them. I used to use Paint but can no longer change font colors. Any ideas?

:)

Hello,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

In order to get clarity and to assist you with appropriate troubleshooting steps, please reply with the answer to the question below:

Are you trying to change the color of the system fonts? Or are you trying to change the color in a particular application?

I understand your query, to change the font color I suggest you to make few changes in the Personalization settings and check if that helps:

To do that,

1. Tap on Windows + I
on the keyboard.

2. Click on the Personalization option.

3. Now click on Colors option.

4. Click on the preferred color from the list of colors.

We await your response.

How do I change text color in paint app Window 11 Pro?

How do I change text color in paint app Window 11 Pro?

In the paint app, I can drag text box and type words, but I do not know how to change the font color.

I do see there are icons for font type, size, bold and etc., but no font color.

Additionally, once I done with typing, I cannot amend or retype that text box.

Please let me know how to do those.

Feels like I can easily change the color and amend in previous Windows but somehow Window 11 Pro being degenerated.
