Windows 10: How to disable color settings but keep light dark mode

I've been tasked in my organization to disable the color options on Windows 10, force default blue to be used but keep light dark mode as an option for end users. I've gone through the GPO options and can not find the right setting to get this accomplished. Any suggestions? I did find the HEX# for default blue 0080ff but using that is not working.

Dark mode / Light mode doesn't work

HiDerek

This was all caused by that new light theme in version 1903 of Windows 10, to revert everything to the settings prior to that update, here are the steps . ..

Open the Settings App (gear icon on your Start Menu)

Go to Personalization - Colors

Set 'Choose your Color' to Custom

Set Windows Mode to Dark

Set App Mode to Light or Dark

Then that option to change the Taskbar color should be active . ..

You can also set App Mode to light or dark separately form Windows Mode and there is a new feature in 1903, where form each Apps settings, you can individually set an app to either dark or light mode . ..

How do you keep "lights on" in dark mode?

"Dark mode" refers to the Mail app's dark mode, common to Windows apps. Affects the color of the message list, menu bar, etc.

"Lights on" or "lights off" refers to the reading pane's background color, a feature recently added to Mail.

I'm asking if there's a way to set "lights on" to default, even if the Mail app is set to dark mode.

 

Is there any way to automatically change desktop background color when dark mode and light mode is toggled

Hi there

Is there any way to automatically change the desktop background to a dark color when Windows's dark mode is enabled and automatically change the desktop background to a light color when Window's Light mode is enabled?

I am trying to achieve this because I've enabled the "Show accent color on the following surfaces" setting to "Title bars and window borders". So I want that when the dark mode is enabled it turns the title bars of the applications to dark color automatically and when the light mode is enabled it turns the title bars to normal (light) color.
