Depending on your eyesight, some people prefer a different type of contrast when looking at their computer screen, especially in low-light conditions like cloudy days, early mornings, or late evenings. Many people say Dark Mode reduces eye strain regardless of light conditions in the room. Here’s how to try Dark Mode on your computer (and how to change it back to Light Mode if you don’t like it).
- Press the Windows key + I (That’s the letter I. Or, click the start button on your computer and then the gear icon to enter Windows Settings.)
- Click Personalization
- On the left, click Colors
- Under Choose your color, select Custom
- Change Default Windows mode to Dark
- Change the Default app mode to Dark
You can adjust these settings and the ones below to anything you like. Typically Transparency effects are enabled but some people can see more easily without them.
Other hidden features your eyes might enjoy:
If you want to make a big change to the visual appearance of your screen, check out the Ease of Access settings.
- Press the Windows key + I (That’s the letter I. Or, click the start button on your computer and then the gear icon to enter Windows Settings.)
- Scroll down and click Ease of Access
There, you can enable High Contrast Mode, make your mouse pointer bigger, adjust the text cursor indicator, and even enable a screen magnifier, among other settings to make life easier for your eyes.
