To switch your computer to dark mode, navigate to your system's settings and adjust the color preferences. Here's how to do it on Windows:
Steps for Windows:
- Open Settings: Click the Start button and select the Settings icon (the gear icon).
- Navigate to Personalization: In the Settings window, click on "Personalization."
- Select Colors: On the left-hand menu, choose "Colors."
- Choose Your Color Mode: Look for the "Choose your color" drop-down menu.
- Select Dark: From the drop-down menu, select "Dark." This will change the Windows Start menu, taskbar, and built-in apps to dark mode.
Additional Options:
- Custom Mode: If you want to customize which elements are dark and which are light, select "Custom" from the "Choose your color" drop-down. This will allow you to set separate modes for your default Windows mode (Start menu and taskbar) and your default app mode.
- Light Mode: To revert to the standard light mode, simply repeat the steps above and choose "Light" from the "Choose your color" drop-down menu.
This process changes the appearance of the Windows interface and compatible applications.
