Windows Tips and Tricks

Thought I would create a thread for us geeks who are into modifying Windows to make it better or plain easier and better to use.

 

Windows 10 Tweak icon.

Right-click on the desktop, choose New Folder, and type (or copy and paste):

" TweakMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} as the name of the folder. "

Open the folder to see over 250 tweaks.

 

Turn on Dark mode on Windows 10

You need to open up the Registry Editor in the Windows 10 to enable Dark mode. There’s a value known as “AppsUseLightTheme” that you need to tamper with in order to get the Dark mode on the Windows 10 overall.

To open the Registry Editor, open up the search bar and type “Regedit” and then launch the app.



Now go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize
(If you don’t find the key named “Personalize” then don’t worry, just create a new key and name it Personalize. For creating a new key, just right click on “Themes” and create a new key. Name it “Personalize“)



In the Personalize key, create a new DWORD (32-bit) Value and name it “AppsUseLightTheme” and set the value to “0”.

• Now go to
  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize
  , again create a new DWORD (32-bit) Value and name it “AppsUseLightTheme” and set the value to “0”. (It’s basically a repetition of previous step, incase you got confused.)

This is all you have to do in the Registry Editor. Now close the editor and restart your computer. You can also just sign-out of your account and sign back in for the changes to take effect but it’s better to do a full restart, this will ensure that things go smoothly. Once you log back in, you will find that the your computer now has a dark mode system-wide.



Only some apps will be available in dark mode like “Settings”, “Microsoft Store”, and a few more but general apps like the File explorer will still be in their white personas.

How To Change Title Bar Color In Windows 10

It's cool and easy to do and reversible, it makes different windows have their Title Bar color back instead of just plain white.

 

I don't even see the code anymore - I just see blonde, brunette, red head... (Had to add a Matrix quote )
