if you're the kind of person who prefers a darker theme instead of the default light theme on your Windows 10, you're not the only one. many users have been asking for a way to enable the dark theme mode on their Windows 10 PC, but Microsoft hasn't made it as easy as it is on the Windows Phone platform. on windows phone devices all you need to do is go to settings and switch between light or dark theme which will change your windows phone background from white to black and vice versa. on the other hand, Windows 10 doesn't have such a toggle option and you can't enable the dark theme as easily. you need to do some digging in the registry editor to change a couple of values to enjoy a high quality dark theme on your Windows 10.

you can always take the easy way out and choose a dark theme from the themes and visual settings of your windows, but before you do that, you should remember that the default dark themes offered by Microsoft are really bad and aesthetically unattractive. you definitely won't like them one bit because nobody wants their brand new Windows 10 to look like the old Windows 95 now, do they? so, if you really want a more high definition dark theme, you can easily get it by following our simple method below.

you need to open registry editor in windows 10 to enable dark mode. there is a value called "appsuselighttheme" that you need to manipulate to get dark mode on Windows 10 overall.

this is all you need to do in the registry editor. now close the editor and restart your computer. you can also just log out of your account and log back in for the changes to take effect, but it's better to do a full reboot, this will make sure everything goes smoothly. when you log back in, you'll find that your computer is now in a system-wide dark mode.
