Windows 10: Confused re: Themes, Colors, and What is Impacted

As I understand a theme it is a picture (thumbnail).
When one chooses a particular theme, the color, font and other properties are set
as defaults to be used each time Windows is started / restarted.

Where my confusion is coming in is relating a theme to things that are important (to me).

1) How do I know what impact any theme will have on title bars, form back and fore colors, contrasting text
over background colors where needed, etc.? In other words, what properties are the theme impacting
and how do you know from the picture what color impacts what ?
For example I changed the background color in ease of access (dumb place to set a color if you ask me) and
could not read any text.

2) Is there anyway to disable all themes and set individual items directly other than the registry?

3) If I modify the registry (assume HKCU\Control Panel|Colors controls everything including all controls (forms, pictureboxes, etc). will the current theme over ride those setting upon Windows start / restart?

4) Is there anyway to make one own theme with the colors wanted?

Thanks
David

Win-10 themes keep changing

Hi,

Thank you for providing the information.

• Did you try the steps suggested by Suvarna Govinda above, what was the result?

As I understand the issue, Themes in Windows doesn't have the options to change on its own. Only the Wallpapers in the themes can change as selected ( Picture, Solid color and Slide Show ).

I would suggest you to make us understand that if the Wallpapers are changing in Theme which you have selected.

Below are the steps you can check if it helps.

• Press Windows + I keys and select Personalization.
• Select Theme and select the Default theme.
• Select the Desktop Background below and select the Picture
  and save it and check.

Please post us back if the issue resolves. We are glad to help you.
