Windows 11 allows you to freely change the theme’s colors from light to dark. Enabling Dark Mode is a great choice if you want to reduce eye strain and it’s also useful for improving the battery life of your device (if you’re using a laptop, ultrabook, etc.). Personally, I think dark mode ultimately offers better aesthetics and makes Windows 11 look entirely unique when compared with macOS. But the choice is ultimately up to you – There are five different ways that will allow you to make the switch from Light mode to Dark mode and vice-versa:
Change between Light and Dark mode via SettingsChange between Light and Dark mode via the Registry Editor (at an App level)Change between Light and Dark mode via the Registry Editor (at a System level)Change between Light and Dark mode via PowerShell (at an App level)Change between Light and Dark mode via Powershell (at a System level)
Important: Keep in mind that enabling Light mode instead of Dark will gray out and disable the Show accent color on Start and taskbar feature. Depending on your preferred ways of enforcing changes on Windows 11, follow one of the sub-guides below to freely switch between Dark and Light mode:
Enable Light or Dark Mode from Settings (at App & System Level)
Enable Light or Dark Mode from Registry Editor (at am App Level)
Enable Light or Dark Mode from Registry Editor (at a System Level)
Enable Light or Dark Mode using Powershell (at an App Level)
Enable Light or Dark Mode using Powershell (at an System Level)
