    Hi,

    You can change the background color of the the Start menu on Settings. To do this, follow the steps below:

    • Click the Windows logo (Start button).
    • Click the gear icon (Settings).
    • Choose Personalization.
    • Select Colors.
    • Under Show color on Start, taskbar, and action center, switch the slider to
      On.
    • After switching the slider to On, you can now pick what color you want or you can click the
      Automatically pick an accent color from my background checkbox to make Windows pick the color that complements the color of your desktop background.
    Kindly share with us the result after you perform the steps above.

    Folder Background colors

    Hi Kevin,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    I completely understand the way you feel at the moment. You may try the below suggested steps to change the look of the File explorer.

    Are the computers connected to any Domain Network?

    Kevin, you can only change the background color of File Explorer to black and the only way to do this is to go to
    Settings > Personalization > Colors > Under
    Choose your default app mode, choose Dark. Once you change this setting, you will experience the entire user interface of File Explorer, Context menu, Save and open dialog, Settings application with the blackish color.

    If you want to change the background of Outlook, then I suggest you to refer
    Change the look and feel of Office with themes
    and check if this helps.

    Hope it helps.
