Win10: Customize The Desktop

Windows Dark Theme

I discussed this some time ago. This info isn’t new, I didn’t discover it, and it’s all over the web. It’s been out for months; I don’t know who found it first or I would give them credit. I’m using it, but it isn’t for everyone. I’ve posted pics below. Notice the title bar is hard to read.

This involves using a .reg file or modifying the keys yourself.
I’ve uploaded my files to Dropbox for you.
Download it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0dv8eup0i70bj0h/win10_darktheme.zip?dl=0

The registry settings are as follows:

– – – – – Win10_UseDarkTheme – – – – – –

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize]
“AppsUseLightTheme”=dword:00000000
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize]
“AppsUseLightTheme”=dword:00000000

– – – – – END Win10_UseDarkTheme – – – – – –

– – – – – Win10_remove_UseDarkTheme – – – – – –

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize]
“AppsUseLightTheme”=-[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize]
“AppsUseLightTheme”=-

– – – – -END Win10_remove_UseDarkTheme – – – – – –

To change colors go to Settings > Personalization > Colors
