Nowadays, it’s almost hard to avoid screens. In between binge-watching on TV and staring at smartphone screens, we use laptops for work.
Going off the grid is impractical, but it is terrible for our health for a variety of reasons, including the fact that blue light keeps us up at night and displays can strain our eyes. Right now, using a screen can be easier on the eyes by turning on dark mode.
You can choose between dark and light themes, accent colors, and where those changes will show up on Windows 10. Here’s how to activate the dark mode and change the color schemes in Windows 10. (Windows 11 users will find that dark mode is now even better.)
Pick a Color Scheme.
Go to Settings > Personalization > Colors, open the drop-down menu for “Choose your color,” and select Dark to activate the dark mode. The appearance of the Windows Start menu and built-in apps is altered by Dark (and Light) modes.
If you want to combine several color schemes, you can also select Custom. For instance, you can decide to maintain the default programs in the light theme while switching the Start Menu and taskbar to dark mode.
Turning off Transparency effects may allow you to darken specific regions. Transparency effects affect the transparency of some windows and the taskbar.
Try out various color combinations to choose which one you like most. Changes are made life so you can sample each combination, and the preview image displays how your changes will appear.

Choosing Accent Colors
You can select an accent color to be used on icons, tiles, and other screen elements after you’ve chosen your preferred color scheme. By selecting the Automatically pick an accent color from my background option, you may also instruct Windows to select an accent color based on your current background image.
If there isn’t a color you like, click Custom color to bring up a choice of color options so you may make your own.
You can choose where you’d want the accent color to display below the color selections. You can have the color shown in the Start menu, taskbar, action center, tile bars, and window borders, among other places.

Who Are the Affected Apps?
Windows 10’s built-in apps, such as File Explorer and the Settings menu, are affected by changing the color theme. Alarms & Clock, Calculator, Calendar, Mail, Microsoft Store, Sticky Notes, 3D Viewer, Video Editor, Windows Security, Xbox Game Bar, Your Phone, and more are among the other applications impacted.
The dark mode of Windows 10 is now supported by some third-party programs, so color adjustments will also be reflected there. You are not required to stop here. Your preferred mobile apps and online browsers both support dark mode.
