Windows 10: Dark theme in windows explorer

What if I don't want dark theme only in windows explorer, but want it at every other place like windows settings?

Dark Theme for File Explorer.

I waited exactly 9 years since Windows 7 released for Dark Theme to be used on the File Explorer and i feel hyped about Dark Theme can be used when you update your windows to version 1803 few weeks ago when i read it on article. My friend already got
their File Explorer themed black, and i already updated it to version 1803 as they say it will works. But why my file explorer theme is still white even though its on version 1803 and already changed the theme to dark? Thank you.

 

Dark Theme Explorer Bug

The File Explorer dark theme is currently only available to Windows Insiders. Insider builds are by definition works in progress for testing only, so they might not work so well.

The dark theme is supposed to be publicly released in the next feature update, which will be available some time in the fall. Let's hope!

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

The dark theme option for Windows explorer is only available for Windows 10 1809 build. If you are using Windows 10 1809 build, you can change the theme by following the
steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows + I key to open Settings.
   
2. Click on Personalization.
   
3. Click on Colors.
   
4. Select Dark under Choose your default app mode.
   

Hope it helps.
