From there you can choose what high-contrast theme to enable and customise.

To do this, go to the Personalisation menu mentioned previously, go to Colours, and at the very bottom of the menu, click on high-contrast settings. You can also customise certain parts of it – what colour hyperlinks show up as, how highlighted text looks, and so on – and create you own customer dark theme. In other words, it’s not the prettiest, but it does the job.

If you opt for the high-contrast settings, the main goal here is to make the screen easier to read rather than to present a slick, dark theme. It also won’t have an impact on third-party software.įor desktop applications such as File Explorer you have the choice to use the built-in high-contrast settings or go for a third-party theme. However, some things retain their white background – File Explorer, Edge and Microsoft Office, to name but a few.
