When I'm in the Metro (there I used that word again) screen and I show "All apps", the apps are categorized with a heading. The problem is, the background color is blue and the heading is also blue; although it is a different shade of blue. It would be far easier if the headings were a different color than the back ground. Is there a way to change the color of one or the other? One would think that MS would have thought of that.

I don't know about changing the text, but you can certainly change the background color.

You would go to PC Settings, and then Personalize. CHange to the Start Screen section, and choose the color. Note that the color sections have background and foreground colors, choose a color scheme that has more contrast. Like grey and blue.

That works great! It makes everything much more distinct. I had to play around with it till I found color I liked best. I would suggest that everyone try it if you already haven't.
