Do you want to use dark mode on your Windows 11 PC? And do you think dark mode is way cooler than light mode? I have to say yes. It is obvious that Dark Mode is also available in Windows 11. In this post you will find out How to enable and disable Dark Mode on a Windows 11 PC and laptop through Settings. But first, let’s know why you should be using dark mode.
Why use dark mode?
Dark mode is the display setting of the user interface (e.g. a smartphone or laptop). This means that instead of the standard dark text (also known as how “Light mode”) on a light screen, light text (white or gray) is displayed on a dark or black screen. However, the default setting for most phones and applications is light mode.
For some users, the screen is more visually appealing in dark mode and can reduce power consumption. On the Google Pixel, which was equipped with an OLED screen in 2016, displaying white at maximum brightness consumes around 6 times more electricity than pure black. In addition, you cannot see the dirt on the screen surface.
At the same time, many people have switched to dark mode on their devices. Some say it is aesthetically better and some say it is easier on the eyes. As with the other operating systems, Windows first introduced the dark mode feature in Windows 10. And now that you have Windows 11 at hand, you can easily use Dark Mode on your PC too, simply by going through the settings that you will learn below.
