Overview
Changing the color mode and accent colors on your device can significantly enhance your user experience by providing a more personalized and visually appealing interface. Whether you prefer a light or dark theme or want to add a splash of color to your user interface, adjusting these settings is straightforward and can be done in just a few steps.
Changing Color Mode
Windows supports two primary color modes: light and dark. The light mode offers a bright and clean look, ideal for well-lit environments, while the dark mode provides a darker interface that is easier on the eyes in low-light conditions. Switching between these modes can help reduce eye strain and improve readability based on your surroundings.
To change color mode:
-
In the Settings app on your Windows device, select Personalization > Colors.
-
Under Choose your mode, you can select Light, Dark, or Custom mode:
-
Windows light mode is the default experience, designed to work well during daylight hours.
-
Windows dark mode has colors that are designed to work well in a low-lit environment.
