    Can I disable dark window background without enabling systemwide light theme?


    After the latest update, it's possible to have window backgrounds dark, which is great. However, can I return to regular white background without making everything light? Basically, I want to enable dark mode without it coloring regular windows, as it used to work before the update.

    :)

  2. Lumia 640 changes background theme by itself from dark to light (always)

    As subject says; I really don't like the LIGHT theme background but my phone automatically changes it from dark to light. Like every 4 hours, sometimes every 6 hours and so on everytime i set it to DARK.

    Anyone experienced this problem?

    Dark characters on a light background are superior to light characters on a dark background - Monitor issue

    Original Title: Blinding white!

    OK, I'm guessing that everyone that works at Microsoft doesn't have any kind of modern monitor or they spend absolutely no time in front of a LED monitor. Was any research done to see if white is the best idea for all of the UI and no I don't mean the borders!
    who cares about the borders? I mean the content in the windows. Absolutely blinding. Even with the brightness/contrast down.

    so here's the research

    There has been a lot of research on this topic since the 1980s and a lot of it still holds true today. One study from the 1980s states this:

    The reason why this matters is because of focus. As
    this article on UXMovement
    states, "white stimulates all three types of color sensitive visual receptors in the human eye in nearly equal amounts." It causes the eye to focus by tightening the iris. Since the eye is focused, dark letter forms on light backgrounds
    are easier to read. When using a dark background with strong light letter forms, the iris opens to allow more light in, but that causes letter forms to blur. Why?

    Now there seem to be varying factors into contrast and legibility. Room ambient lighting. Brightness of the monitor. Also you can mitigate the straining effects of white (#FFF) on black (#000) by simply lessening the contrast like using a light gray (#EEE,
    #DDD, #CCC) on a dark background (#111, #222).

    So even if you did make the default theme for 50% of the population, what about the other 50%? is my money not worth making a theme that doesn't blind me? worse, trying to use the High contrast themes are awful. Basic colors that can only contrast to cause
    more eye strain? Is this ever going to be fixed or are you going to force the remaining users to go to mac? Also, I will ignore anyone who not an MS employee on this answer. I payed for this. I want support. (No offense to the community)
