system-wide-dark-mode

System-wide dark mode in Windows 11 has been a long-standing user request, with Microsoft gradually expanding dark theme support beyond basic settings. Recent Insider builds show progress in applying dark mode to File Explorer and other shell surfaces that have remained bright for years. While Windows gained a dark theme in 2016, its implementation has been partial, leaving many legacy dialogs and core interfaces unaffected. The latest builds indicate incremental but meaningful improvements, suggesting Microsoft is finally addressing the gap between user expectations and actual system-wide dark mode coverage. This tag covers discussions and updates on the development and rollout of comprehensive dark mode in Windows 11.
