It downloads and rotates through a selection of backgrounds from Microsoft. The other lock screen settings on this page are mainly used to customize what apps display data on your home screen. If you want an app to display while your screen is locked, you can click on one of the plus signs to add it. There are a few settings that can be played with under here involving transparency and pulling extra accent colors from other areas.
You can also customize where your accent color shows up with the check boxes shown there too. There are several different types of themes for cursors, including larger sizes, different colors, and color inversions designed for color blind users. Pick whichever matches your needs best. That lets you select the theme whenever you want to choose those settings all at once instead of having to go back and adjust them all manually again.
You can think of plenty of uses for this. Do you sometimes use your computer with your glasses and sometimes without? Maybe you have a theme that adjusts the colors to a higher contrast and makes the mouse cursor bigger. Do you get tired of looking at the same desktop background? Thanks for your feedback. I have already tried the first two options, and they were not any better.
The high contrast themes were just as bad, if not worse. When I turned the screen brightness down it turned everything down, not just the background. I've also looked at third party themes, with no luck.
What I would really like to be able to do is to customise my colours using something similar to the Advanced Appearance Settings form Windows 7. I had made a colour scheme with a light pink background in application windows, which suited me and was easy on my eyes. Oh, sorry to hear that, I have no other option. Get your eyes off the screen for a minute every 30 minutes.
For years I've set my Active Window colour to be much more restful - didn't take Rocket Science, just plain, common sense!! I've also been advising people to do this for years, so there'll be quite a few people who'll want to know why some dumb person dropped this VITAL control.
Sensible people always look away from the screen on a regular basis, but that doesn't mean that we also don't want to adjust the colours.
I had a very similar problem. I wanted to change the background cell color in Excel to grey. What I did was edit the registry. We do, however, have a quick registry hack that can at least let you keep a black background on your Start menu and Action Center. The second option uses the accent color on the title bar of active windows, though we also have another hack for you if you want to use the accent color on inactive windows , as well.
And finally, you can enable a dark mode for settings and apps. Next, we move on to the Windows lock screen settings. The lock screen, remember, is the screen you click to slide out of the way so you can get to the sign in screen where you enter your user name and password.
You can also set the lock screen background to be one of your pictures or a slideshow of pictures in a folder on your computer. It works the same way as setting your desktop background. If you select a picture, just point Windows to the file you want to use.
The advanced settings let you include your camera roll as a source for pictures, use only pictures that fit your screen, and select whether to show the lock screen instead of turning off the screen when the PC is inactive. If you select this last option, you can also set the screen to turn off after a set amount of time, or not at all.
Back on the lock screen settings, you also have a few more options available. You can also specify that the lock screen background picture is used as your sign-in screen background as well, though we have some other ways you might prefer to change your sign in screen background instead.
Windows 10 finally brings control of themes into the Settings app instead of the Control Panel app. Themes let you coordinate and save a desktop background, accent color, sound scheme, and mouse cursors as a set you can reload more easily. You can click each of the theme categories—Background, Color, and so on—to set what you want to use. These links really just take you to other places in the Settings app where you can make the changes.
Windows 10 still includes the old Fonts tool in the Control Panel, but you can now also manage fonts within the Settings app. This page shows all the font families installed on your PC. The app displays a sample of each font and how many faces it includes. You can click any font family to get more details and adjust some basic font settings, as well as uninstall the font. Next up are the Start menu options.
It is a major usability violation. Here is how to fix it and restore colored titlebars in Windows 10 easily. Follow the step-by-step instruction in the following article: Get colored title bars in Windows Microsoft added a new "Personalization" section to the Settings app, which allows you to customize the colors and appearance in Windows By default, Windows 10 is using a darker appearance for the taskbar and the Notifications pane, however, it is possible to change it.
You need to follow the instructions below. Once you select the new color, it will affect the Start menu and the Notification center background:. Earlier, these settings were available in Personalization desktop Control Panel.
With Windows 10, Microsoft made many changes to the OS Appearance, so it is quite possible that the classic Personalization options get removed in the near future. Refer to the following article: Windows death of the Aero engine to learn why I feel they might get removed.
