    How do I change the background colors of the system tray & start menu?


    How do I change the background colors of the system tray and the start menu? I'm using the light mode in Windows - but the backgrounds of the start menu and the system tray are to light for me.

    Hello Nisko,

    If you selected to use Light instead of Custom or Dark for the Choose your color setting, or Light instead of Dark for the Choose your default Windows mode setting, then the Start, taskbar, and action center setting will be grayed out.

    Once you set to use Dark for Choose your default Windows mode, you should be able to turn on Start, taskbar, and action center to have your selected accent color show on the Start menu and taskbar.
