Enable dark theme On Windows 10. Here is how !

Most of the people didn't like the bright theme of windows 10 and it also hurts the eyes a bit if you are working at night. So now you can enable the dark theme which is a hidden feature by doing the following things. 

Warning ! 

This is a registry editor trick so it can be risky if you changed some things accidentally it may affect your system so please be very careful and try this at your own risk.

So let's get started.

open up the registry editor.

first press windows+R then type in regedit press enter.

say yes to the security pop up.

The registry editor is open now.

Now browse to the following path.using the hierarchy on the left side.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize]

you won't find a personalize folder there so you will need to create that by right clicking on the theme folder on then clicking on creating a folder. and name it Personalize. Make sure there are no typos in the folder name keep the p capital I don't know if it matters or not but anyway keep it capital. 

Then right click on the personalize folder new>DWORD 32 bit. 

Now name this DWORD exactly as AppsUseLightTheme

press enter and it will open by default the value will be 0. keep it that way press okay don't change anything else.

0 is for on and 1 is for Off. 

Now do this again for the following path as well in the registry editor.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize]

if personalize folder is not there then follow the same process as above.

again create a 32 bit DWORD value will be 0 zero again. 

click ok and close the registry editor. 

you might need to restart the computer. 

It should work it did on my computer for my build version.

.

And again do this at your own risk I am not responsible for any kind of damage of any form. 

if it doesn't work after doing everything right. go to the settings app > personalizaion > Colors and then toggle the show color on start, taskbar and Action center option and it will work.

Here is a snapshot of my PC with the dark theme.

Change the value to one to return to the original state.
