    setting dark/light mode after 1903 update

    since updating win 10 from 1803 to 1903, I can no longer set different light/dark modes for windows and for apps.

    before the update, I liked the windows mode light, and the app mode dark. but now, even though there is a separate switch for each, the app switch alone sets the mode, and the windows switch does nothing. everything is either all light or all dark.

    anyone know of a fix for this?

    Can you provide a screenshot of the settings?

    Try choosing custom:

    Launch the Settings app and navigate to Personalization > Colors. On the right, you have a drop-down menu under Choose your color which lists the options Light, Dark, Custom. Earlier, you only had the option to choose light or dark. Regardless of your choice,
    some elements never got themed. That’s not the case anymore so if you choose Light, (almost) everything is themed light including the Windows shell and if you choose dark, (almost) everything is turned dark including the file explorer.

    That’s where the Custom setting comes in. if you’re someone who is perfectly happy with the way things have been on Windows 10, i.e. dark taskbar, start menu, and other shell elements but light file explorer you can choose Custom

    Default Windows is either light or dark & same for default app mode - try both dark.
