2.) More tips on dark mode on MS Windows 11 and 10 OS!

Dark mode is very popular with some Windows users, it is easier on the eyes but also tiring in the long run. I myself prefer mixed mode, where part is in dark mode and part is in normal mode, but this setting always changes again depending on your mood. Luckily, you can easily switch this in Windows 10 and 11 to benefit from the different themes and also customize them individually, for example with color accents.

Here you will find more tips related to Windows topics that might be of interest to you or where you can simply learn something new about Windows topics.

Dark mode can be a great way to reduce eye strain and extend the battery life of your Windows 11 or Windows 10 computer. Here are some additional tips on how to get the most out of dark mode on these operating systems:


To turn on dark mode:

►►  How do I activate dark mode in Windows 11?

Dark mode for apps:
Some apps like Microsoft Office and web browsers like Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome have their own dark mode settings. Enable dark mode in these apps for a consistent experience.
Customize accent colors:

Windows 11 allows you to schedule dark mode to turn on automatically at specific times. You can find this option in Settings > Personalization > Colors > Dark Mode > Scheduled.

Dark Mode in Microsoft Edge:
If you use Microsoft Edge, it has its own dark mode settings. To enable it, go to Edge Settings > Appearance and select Dark in the Theme section.

High Contrast Mode:
If you need an even more extreme dark mode, you can use High Contrast mode. In Windows 11, you'll find it in Settings > Accessibility > Contrast, while in Windows 10 it's in Settings > Ease of Access > High Contrast.

Where can I find the contrast designs for poor eyesight in Windows 11?


Info:

Windows is updated regularly and new features or improvements may be introduced. Give Microsoft feedback if you have issues with dark mode. Keep in mind that while dark mode can reduce eye strain in low-light environments, it is not suitable for everyone. You should choose the mode that is most comfortable for your eyes and working conditions.
