The Dark Mode features a black background, dark-gray scrollbars and white text. The Settings application should turn dark, and so should other applications. However, you will find that some apps do not support Dark Mode and, you should note that some of the desktop applications like Windows 10’s File Explorer will not be affected. Desktop applications such as Paint.NET will change upon this setting. To enable a built-in dark theme for other desktop applications, go to Settings, select Ease of Access, and then choose Color & High Contrast. On the right, look out for the High Contrast section and where you are required to Choose a Theme, set it to High Contrast Black setting. Click Apply to save the setting.
