  1. How to change windows 10 "Dark Theme" Black color to Dark Gray? Immersive Control Panel


    I have been avoiding upgrading to Windows 10 for years. I have become very comfortable with my ability to customize Windows 7 just how i need.

    Recently my main machine took a turn for the worst. I purchased a new one with windows 10 installed and thought i should finally give it a shot...


    I am a "Dark theme" person. I will go through hell and high water customizing applications, themes, even customizing websites by auto injecting my custom code when i visit them. (Im a web designer). Everything is a dark theme haha.

    Okay so here is my question. I have spent the last 4 days stressing over trying to change the "Black" color to "Dark gray". Its really bothering me.. I have gone over (I think) EVERY color value in the Windows Registry and can not find anything that is controlling the black colors in Windows new Default Dark Theme.

    Is this located in the registry? If not where do i go? I have come here as a last resort and have already brought this question to several other communities. No one has any idea...

    Any insight to solving this problem is much appreciated!

  3. Start menu color becomes dark and font color wont change in Windows 10

    I just got my Upgrade yesterday and im quite happy with the performance.

    As soon as I opened "start" i saw colors of tiles becoming dark step by step.. eventually becoming to blackish blue.. only the icon remains not changed.

    It does go back to original colors if I open "start" after 1 min but they again turns into dark.

    Other thing i noticed was the color of font. Its gray and remains gray no matter what color i choose for Start theme.

    This is not only limited to tiles, if I open "all applications", on first open the color is okay but becomes dark again.

    and with the gray color of font, it makes everything unreadable.

    For example, if i choose color "#800000" for start, the tiles become color "#190000"..

    So, I dont know if anyone else is also facing this issue or not but its quite annoying that you cant read and and ugly that color becomes dark like that..
