    Hey

    After an update, the background in my file exlorer turned very dark. I tried changing the theme, and tired with high contrast. The only thing that changes is the header, the background stays the same.

    File explorer in dark theme gone!

    There was an option for choosing dark mode. I followed both suggestion above to the letter. But it did not fix the problem. Only Explorer is white. Which was the behavior before 1809.

    Ver 1809, dark mode in file explorer shoes black text on dark background. Can't read icin labels.

    I have been using the Dark mode and find it easier on the eyes. I was looking forward to this update because Microsoft was expanding the dark mode to file explorer windows. On the 3 computers that I just updated, when viewing a file explorer window the
    icon labels are in black text and are almost impossible to read against the dark background. In all the articles that I've seen that are touting this new feature, the screen shots show the text and labels in white text which is easy to read against the dark
    background. How can I get the white text?

    Dark explorer


    Hi, from comments I've read I understand 'dark explorer' is not available in 1803, but is in 1809. Some have expressed discontent with it, however.

    Should you wish a means of colouring text and background in explorer-related panes and fields, you can try Qttabbar by Quizo (free) which gives lots of options to colour background and text in explorer - and much more.
