Display High Color Icons (All Versions) Appearance and Display If you like a bit more color and detail in your icons, then this setting allows you to enable hi-color mode. Show your Windows icons in all their high resolution glory. Create a new string value named "Shell Icon BPP" in the key below. Change the value to equal the color depth supported by your video card (e.g. '16' for 16-bit graphics cards or '24' for 24-bit graphics cards) Note: You need a graphics card capable of displaying above 256 colors for this to be effective.
