  1. My windows theme keeps changing to a dark purple color no matter how many times i change it


    Hi,I've recently been having this issue with windows 11, where it always resets my theme colors to a color it calls "dark purple" or "black." I have tried to go to the personalization settings and change the color, but it changes it back to the same purple color. I save my colors as a new theme, but it changes it back again anyway. I have tried multiple different colors, but it still changes it back. This blue color is nowhere in any of my saved themes. Something I've noticed is that if I go into personalization > themes, there's an option to "Use custom theme", which will immediately reset

    :)

  2. Win-10 themes keep changing

    Hi,

    Thank you for providing the information.

    • Did you try the steps suggested by Suvarna Govinda above, what was the result?
    As I understand the issue, Themes in Windows doesn't have the options to change on its own. Only the Wallpapers in the themes can change as selected ( Picture, Solid color and Slide Show ).

    I would suggest you to make us understand that if the Wallpapers are changing in Theme which you have selected.

    Below are the steps you can check if it helps.

    • Press Windows + I keys and select Personalization.
    • Select Theme and select the Default theme.
    • Select the Desktop Background below and select the Picture
      and save it and check.
    Please post us back if the issue resolves. We are glad to help you.

  4. My windows theme keeps changing to a dark purple color no matter how many times i change it

    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..
