    Does Windows 10 have a shortcut to switch between light and dark themes?


    Have a Surface Book 2, and it's incredibly inconvenient for me to have to dig into the settings when I am in low lighting in order to change the system theme. Is there anything that lets me change between them quickly?

    Windows 10: Hidden Dark Theme


    Credit/Rep should be given to @BillGates for creating the registry key in the Original Post and I also found the original post by Edwin, for the dark theme pointing to the registry location here.

    To further help others I created registry keys for both "Dark" and "Light" themes so you can easily switch themes. (Note:This also works if you are using Windows 10 Home)

    Light Theme.zip

    Dark Theme.zip

    I also created a folder for both themes which can be saved anywhere you wish, Now create a shortcut and place the shortcut in your "ProgamData/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs" folder for easy access from the start menu.

    Use Dark or Light theme.zip

    Note: You must have "Show hidden files, folders or drives enabled or the Hidden Items check marked in Windows Explorer > View > Hidden Items.

    Change Default App Mode to Light or Dark Theme in Windows 10


    To get a "dark mode" for file explorer you need to use "Color Filter" in ease of access, and that will change all your color settings on the whole system, icons, wallpaper, settings, app color mode(need to switch to light so it will become dark) inclusive. what it does is just invert all color settings. After switching to invert, you will need to re theme your system.

    *Arrow Turn On or Off Color Filters to the Screen in Windows 10 Customization Tutorials
