  1. How do we change the background color of file explorer?


    We were able to do this with older versions of windows. As someone who deals with frequent migraines, that BRIGHT WHITE background is such a nightmare. Why would Windows remove a such a helpful feature? Is there some workaround besides high contrast? (High contrast ironically makes things harder to read, even if its not a bright blinding white.)


    Thank you.

    :)
