    Adjust windows "Black" color used in the dark theme?


    So as we all know now windows has officially launched the dark theme. I have enabled this in my settings. That being said the "Black" color is overwhelming and would suite me much better if i could force it to be a dark gray.

    How do you customize the window color for dark mode? I am not interested in using any of the high contrast solutions.

    I was searching all over the registry for this color value and was unable to find it...

    Hi, if indeed it is in the registry- and it may not be- you might be able to identify it by investigating the registry changes made when changing from one theme to another using a free program called Regshot.

    This lets you take a registry snaphot before and after a change, then compare. Note- patience- a snapshot takes 2-3 mins.

    No guarantees this will help in the slightest, of course.

    Thanks Dalchina! I tried your suggestion.. I found a lot of value's regarding the theme change but nothing that will allow me to update any base colors beyond button colors (from what i could find using the tool you suggested)

    Where else would they keep such a color value if not in the registry?

    Could be hard coded - maybe there's even a .theme file
