The dark mode is a boon for computer users, particularly those who work at night or in a low-lit room. Therefore, if you use your PC in a dark room or at night, you should immediately enable the dark mode to reduce eyestrain.

By default, the light mode or light theme is enabled in Windows 11 Home and Pro editions. However, you can switch to dark mode with a few clicks.

The dark mode theme available in Windows 11 makes it easier to quickly shift nearly all visual elements on the screen to dark grays and black.

You just need to apply the dark mode theme to make almost everything on the screen go black. The taskbar and Start menu, File Explorer, Settings, context menus, Quick Settings, notifications center, and most in-house apps like Mail, Calculator, and Photos, support the dark mode.

However, a few visual elements will continue to ignore the dark mode because they are not available in dark mode. For instance, the classic Control Panel will continue to use the default white background even when the dark mode is turned on. The same is the case with Notepad and WordPad apps as well. Nevertheless, most visual elements will wear a black color, making your eyes job a lot easier.
