Microsoft’s latest Insider preview activity delivers the first tangible repair to a long-running visual grievance: several legacy file-operation dialogs in Windows 11 are now respecting the system Dark theme in test builds, reducing the jarring white “flash” users have endured for years while...

Microsoft has quietly begun fixing one of Windows 11’s most visible cosmetic complaints: the jarring white pop-ups that break the flow for users who run the OS in Dark Mode. Insider builds now include code that darkens long-neglected file‑operation dialogs — copy/move progress, delete...

Microsoft appears to be closing one of Windows’ longest-running cosmetic grievances: preview builds released in August 2025 show legacy file‑operation dialogs and several system prompts finally obeying the system Dark theme, reducing the jarring white “flash” that has plagued Dark Mode since the...

For the first time in years, there are convincing signs that Microsoft is finally taking the long-neglected promise of a true, system-wide dark mode for Windows 11 seriously — and the changes showing up in Insider preview builds point to incremental but meaningful progress in File Explorer and...

Windows 11 laptop HP 17t-cn300 newly bought. How do I change the contrast, hue, other advanced video settings? I am in Settings > Display, and it has night / red shift, brightness, but I do not see advanced settings such as contrast, hue. The brightness is on max, but I cannot see much on the...

Since about October 19, 2023, a lot of times when the Notification Center gets invoked, one or both of my external displays goes super saturated/contrasty. Here's a simulation of how it looks: It looks almost exactly like two copies of the monitor image are being added together using a "color...

I'm not sure of the correct terminology here as Microsoft keeps changing it and well, I tend to think in terms used by Apple in GS/OS (the Apple IIGS operating system, although very similar to the Mac's System 6.0.8) back on my first computer. On the scrollbar is a shaded region that shows...

Creating accessible products means most of all being aware of the usability issues your designs and code can cause. When creating new products, Microsoft follows a strict workflow of accessibility reviews of designs, code reviews and mandatory audits before a new feature can leave experimental...

An offer from Microsoft Windows popped up a few weeks ago and I downloaded it on the expectation of it being an improvement but instead it has made life more difficult and I’d like to reverse the action. The download changed the background of many items so that the contrast was lessened, and...

What apps would you recommend ? I need either a free, or very inexpensive, app to adjust brightness and contrast for images. Here is an example of a new webpage I created with a background. But I need the background to be light enough, so words and links are clearly readable. >>>...

Hi. I'm an amateur photographer and all my pictures are taken in RAW so they're quite large. I often have hundreds of pictures to browse through but it's a painfully slow process with Windows Photos. This is due to the fact that it changes them; It only seems to do it when I load RAW images...

hi everyone Looks interesting to me. Very nice and thin, even thinner that LCD it looks like to me. It also looks like it has a nice resolution, and the contrast ratio is much better than LCD. :D I hope to get one soon. thanks

Hello, once again I have a question. This time it is about my computer in my sleeproom, that I use often for watchign series oder movies when in bed. This computer is running Windows XP and has a weird phenomena: While I watch movies/series/videos in a browser (fullscreen) and the scenes are...

Hello all, Is there a way to make the slider button (I dont know what the real name is) on the right side darker? Much darker. It's almost the same as the field it slides in and is very hard to see. Is Win8 like this? Thanks for any help.

The display on my Fujitsu Lifebook A530 is so bright it's actually painful to watch. Especially at night. I have tried the F6-F9 keys (marked ▼ ▲ ▼ ▲) that I think are supposed to adjust brightness/contrast but no go. Any ideas as to what to do? Yeah, shades - but that somehow seems so low-tech.

Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me with a display problem (or at least tell me what might be going on). I just bought a Acer S231HL LCD monitor for my desktop (Gateway SX2850-01). When attached with the VGA cable, the colors look fine. The blacks are deep and the colors bright...

Hi, I have new Sony CW laptop running Windows 7 (64-bit) with an Nvidia GeForce GT 230m graphics card. The tiny problem I have is that I can't adjust the video settings (colour/contrast/brightness etc.) in Windows Media Player 12 as I am used to being able to do in previous versions. I use...
