The upcoming Windows 10 Anniversary Update is going to bring some pretty big changes for desktop computers, including what seems to be a full dark theme that was previously available with a registry trick.

 

Microsoft has improved the look of Windows 10’s desktop with visual effects and translucency in the Start menu and taskbar, but the company is willing to go for more with the upcoming Anniversary Update.

 

A report coming from Thurrott reveals that Microsoft is working on bringing a full dark theme in Windows 10 that would use black as the main background color for everything, including the Settings screen.

 

Most like, the Anniversary Update will come with a quick toggle in Settings that will allow users to choose between the light and dark themes, thus making it quite easy to change the look of the desktop.

It will be included in the personalization screen alongside other features such as accent color.

 

Windows 10 Mobile already has such a feature, so it just makes sense for the PC version of the operating system to get it.

Furthermore, there are quite a lot of users out there who turned to a registry trick to enable the dark theme, so why not offer them a feature to activate it easily from Settings?

 

One of the most-requested features

 

A dark theme in Windows 10 is currently one of the most requested features, so it’s very clear that Microsoft heard the message that was posted pretty much everywhere, including the Feedback app.

 

There are thousands of votes in the Windows 10 Feedback app serving as living proof that a dark theme would be a welcome addition to the operating system, so the Anniversary Update will clearly be an important step forward.

 

Most likely, the dark theme will initially debut for Windows insiders and then for everyone else with the public release of the Anniversary Update in the summer.
