    Windows 10 Mail app Dark Mode


    I have some vision issues and need dark mode throughout mail app including the reading pane.

    I have dark mode set in settings but reading pane remains white. I understand there should be a sun/moon toggle to change this but I am unable to find it.

    Is it possible to get a dark reading pane on Windows 10 Mail/Calendar app.

    Thanks

    :)

    Mail app will not open on 10041.

    Hello Adam,

    This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it. Windows 10 Mail app Dark Mode :)

    In this Windows 10 build 10041, the Mail, Calendar, and People apps may be broken due to a licensing issue with the Store Beta. To get these apps working again, you need to follow these steps:

    • Open powershell as administrator
    • Run the command Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object {$_.packagename –like “*windowscommunicationsapps*”} | remove-appxprovisionedpackage –online
    • Re-install Mail, People and Calendar from the Store (green tile)

  3. 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.

    Windows 10 Dark Mode Not Working

    Hi kontkrabber

    In Windows 10 version 1903, the Mode settings changed, please try this:

    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 Dark

    If that does not work for you, toggle App Mode to light, then back to Dark . . .

    If your settings are different to the above listed settings:

    Click your Start Button, type winver and hit Enter

    On the resulting dialog, what Version No. and build No. of Windows 10 are you running?
