  1. File explorer dark theme not applying properly


    Since the implementation of Dark theme, I've been a bizarre white tool bar, it originates from the white theme but apparently it doesn't change when I apply the dark theme. You can see what I mean here.

    An interesting remark I have to make is that when launching File Explorer shortly after signing in from a reboot, the File Explorer dark theme is applied correctly.

    I have tried from unistalling applications to testing in safe mode, and even that was futile, as the behaviour was the same.

    I'm at the end of my rope, your help would be appreciated.


    Note: The dark theme is also applied properly when launching file explorer through shell.

    :)

    Dark theme in windows explorer

    Hi Usama,

    Sorry, Microsoft does not provide us with the ability to choose which application the dark or light theme is applied to, whichever theme you choose will also automatically be applied to File Explorer . . .

  3. 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.
