    How to change FileExplorer(windows explorer)background to Grey


    I wonder if there has been a workable EASY solution to this problem?
    I only have one eye (lost the use of my left eye in 2007) and I often find that the READING area to be far to bright for my sensitive eye.
    Adjusting brightness, hueb etc does not really help.

    Is there a very easy method of applying a medium to dark grey theme ONLY for the READING AREA without messing about with the registry? If the registry is the only path can someone kindly provide the STEPS on how I should proceed?

    Thank you

    Hi, appreciate your need.

    As above in this thread: install Qttabbar by Quizo. Free.
    QTTabBar - QuizoApps

    You can customise different regions of explorer (and the control panel). But other things like Wordpad and many other areas require a registry change - no GUI in Win 10 for that.

    - sorry I don't understand that. Perhaps a screenshot showing the area you mean would help.

    Qttabbar lets you customise different regions - you have to dig around for some of the options. The screenshot below shows the main ones.

    Superfly's SMACC utility (free from this forum) can help there.
