Display High Color Icons (All Windows) Popular
If you like a bit more quality and detail in your icons, then this setting allows you to change the number of colors used to display icons. Show your Windows icons in all their high resolution glory.

Wrap Icon Titles (All Windows)
This setting controls whether the icon titles should be word wrapped over multiple lines or shown in one longer line.
