  1. How can I set the background color of dialog boxes?


    I want to change the pale green background color of dialog boxes also used by some applications to a better, more harmonious light brown. The color, RGB: 238 255 238 discovered via Paint, 'Edit colors', is very, very close.
    However, none of the colors below come close, so I obviously haven't found the right settings in the registry.
    How can I set the background color of dialog boxes?


    Thank you!

  2. Dialog box background color

    After installing the Windows 10 Creator upgrade, the background color of my dialog boxes changed from white to a warm tone. I want to change this back to white but can't find anything in Settings>Personalization. How can I correct this?

  4. How can I set the background color of dialog boxes?

    Windows 10 PC Dialog Box Background Color

    In Windows 7 and before, you could change the background color in a dialog box (NOT the desktop) from the default white. I have found no similar way to do this in Windows 10. I have vision problems and BRIGHT WHITE ... the default for a lot of items in
    Windows ... is harsh on my eyes so I change it to grey where ever I can. Does anyone know a way ... Registry edit maybe ... to change this default dialog box background color? Thanks.
