Light mode is activated by default on Windows 11. If you need to work continuously in a low-light environment, then switching to dark mode can help you read better and keep your eyes healthy. In this tutorial we’ll show you 2 methods to switch from light mode to dark mode in Windows 11.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Method 1: Switch to Dark Mode in Windows 11 via Settings App<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Press the Windows key + I together to launch the Settings app<\/a>. Select the “Personalization<\/strong>” tab from the left sidebar, and then click Colors<\/strong> on the right pane.\n

    \n<\/li>\n

  2. You can switch to dark mode by selecting Dark<\/strong> from the “Choose your mode<\/strong>” drop-down menu.\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    \tIf you choose the Custom<\/strong> option, it will let you separately configure light or dark mode for apps (including File Explorer, Settings app) and windows background (taskbar).<\/p>\n

    \"\"\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Method 2: Switch to Dark Mode in Windows 11 via Registry Editor<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Open Registry Editor<\/a> and navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Themes\\Personalize<\/code>. On the right pane, you need to edit the DWORD value for both AppsUseLightTheme<\/strong> and SystemUsesLightTheme<\/strong>. If they are not present, you need to create them first.\n

      \"\"\n<\/li>\n

    2. To turn on dark mode completely, just change the value data of both AppsUseLightTheme<\/strong> and SystemUsesLightTheme<\/strong> to 1.\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

      When you need to use light mode again, just set their value data to 0. The DWORD AppsUseLightTheme<\/strong> is used for configuring your default Windows mode, while SystemUsesLightTheme<\/strong> is for configuring your default app mode.<\/li>\n

    3. Close Registry Editor. Log off your account or restart Windows 11 to apply your changes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n

      That’s how you can easily turn on dark mode for all apps and Windows taskbar on the entire system level. You can also switch to dark mode by applying a dark theme. More and more apps will allow you to customize the dark mode from within the app itself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
