proper dark mode

Thursday, May 2, 2024 by randomhd | Discussion: OS Customization

when setting dark mode in windows 10 win32 apps like task manager,control panel ,file properties.file transfer etc. are not in dark mode,because they are old legacy programs, i get that but what is the best third party app or method, safe and actually works by making all of them dark mode as well.?

( i want to have my own theme in windows personalization,colors,cursors sounds,etc)

windowblinds change soo much and i only need dark mode on these non supported apps.

and please suggest all possible method and i will look for the best one.

For Windows 11 the answer would be Rectify.  Not sure if there ist someting similar for 10.

This would be a good reason to try Copilot.

Give it a try using this

No, there is not. No dark mode for this forum.

But there are ways to get it in various ways. The easiest is to use a browser like Opera that has a built in setting to force dark mode to all pages like this:

Sorry c242, I think this thread got hijacked. Vivaldi also offers a setting to force dark mode on all sites.

There are also several plugins for other browsers that can do this.
