Dark Mode
Microsoft’s dark mode has existed since Windows 10 in 2016. However, there were still parts of the interface that didn’t have a dark mode, quickly resulting in a mixture of light and dark. Almost ten years later, it seems an improvement is finally coming. Phantomofearth noticed that the latest Windows 11 preview build contains even more darkened UI elements.
The Windows user shows via the above image how the file editing dialog boxes in Windows 11 appear in dark mode. However, he notes that it’s still “in development”, as the light buttons don’t change along with it yet.
Currently, there is still no dark mode for, among other things, the control panel and the user interface for file properties. Microsoft hasn’t shared anything about the improvements to Windows 11’s dark mode. Although these are still minor changes, it could mean that a comprehensive update will follow.
