Windows 10: Is there a way to use dark mode with the light taskbar?

I prefer having the light taskbar, however I would like to use dark mode for the rest (explorer).

Is this possible?

Dark mode / Light mode doesn't work

HiDerek

This was all caused by that new light theme in version 1903 of Windows 10, to revert everything to the settings prior to that update, here are the steps . ..

Open the Settings App (gear icon on your Start Menu)

Go to Personalization - Colors

Set 'Choose your Color' to Custom

Set Windows Mode to Dark

Set App Mode to Light or Dark

Then that option to change the Taskbar color should be active . ..

You can also set App Mode to light or dark separately form Windows Mode and there is a new feature in 1903, where form each Apps settings, you can individually set an app to either dark or light mode . ..

.

 

How do you keep "lights on" in dark mode?

"Dark mode" refers to the Mail app's dark mode, common to Windows apps. Affects the color of the message list, menu bar, etc.

"Lights on" or "lights off" refers to the reading pane's background color, a feature recently added to Mail.

I'm asking if there's a way to set "lights on" to default, even if the Mail app is set to dark mode.

 

Dark mode / Light mode doesn't work

In Light mode: taskbar color never changes - always a hideous yellow/green, everything else follows color chosen

In Dark mode: taskbar color changes- i choose a dark gray- but everything else is just black no matter which color is chosen.

Neither option is acceptable. Is there a way to get rid on color modes and go back to standard one color everywhere?
