Windows 11 was an opportunity for Microsoft to perform a major aesthetic overhaul of its star OS. The system offers many customization options, including dark mode. Here’s how to activate it.
If you are one of the most eager Internet users and you have already installed Windows 11, you may already be setting up your PC with little onions.
The new OS offers, like its predecessor, many customization options, for example the possibility of returning the Start menu to the left. If you want to go further, you can also change the colors of your system and adopt the “dark mode”. We explain how to do it.
How to activate dark mode on Windows 11?
The procedure for enabling dark mode on Windows has not changed from the previous version.
- Open the app Settings
- Go to the tab Personalization
- Choose menu Colors
- On the line Choose your Windows mode by default choose Dark in the drop-down menu
Your interface should then automatically switch to dark mode, with in particular the taskbar which will be adorned with a dark gray of the most aesthetic. Native Windows apps (Word, Edge, Mail) should also appear in dark mode.

You can also switch only the system interface to dark mode, while keeping applications in light mode. Thus the taskbar, Start menu and notifications will be in dark mode, while other software will remain in light mode. To do this, simply choose “Clear” in the section Default app mode.
Go further in Windows 11 customization
If you want to go further than just adopting a dark mode, Windows 11 offers plenty of other customization settings.
Always in the color customization settings, it is possible to choose a accent color. You can thus change the color of the notifications, the indicators of active applications and the internal links to the system, in a very pretty orange for example.
