  1. Help! Unable to have Light Mode and still have the colour in the taskbar


    I don't know what I've done to my Win10 system but for some reason, I can only choose to have a colour on my taskbar if I have dark mode selected.


    I had it with light mode before so I have clearly done something but I don't know what!


    Here is what happens when it's in Light Mode - you can see the "Start, taskbar and action centre" option is greyed out and my taskbar is a horrible grey!!


    How do I fix this??

    Taskbar colour

    Since the 1903 update, my taskbar is a light colour. I have been to settings, colour, but the 'start menu, taskbar, action center' box is greyed out.
    If I change main colour to dark then all folders go dark. I only want a dark taskbar.
    Any help appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Help! Unable to have Light Mode and still have the colour in the taskbar

    Touch keyboard colour change

    Hi TonkaR1

    this is part of the new windows light mode, you can choose dark mode for windows and light mode for apps, this will make the keyboard, taskbar, start, action centre dark and leave the apps light, you can then choose an accent colour to show on start, taskbar
    etc.

    settings -> personalisation -> colours

    under "choose your default windows mode"

    select Dark

    under "choose your default app mode"

    select light

    if you want your taskbar etc to be a different colour

    choose an accent colour then tick the box to show the accent colour on start, taskbar and action centre

    So what is the reason for not being able to have a black taskbar on light mode?: Like you can have that in 1809, so why not in 1903+? Why is the lowest you can go in light mode 15,15,15 or whatever it is? Someone had to program it so you cant, if i remember correctly, go under a combined RGB value of 45. Who, and why, decided this was a good idea?If you...
