Enabling dark mode in Windows 11 is very easy. If you activate dark mode, also known as (“dark mode”) in Windows 11, all components will become dark.
The taskbar goes dark, the Start menu, all windows, Windows Explorer and of course the background of the desktop. It is a dark theme that you can enable with a simple click.
Dark mode has its advantages for the user.
- It is better for your eyes in a low-light environment, so you can use it in bed. It also helps to ensure that others are less affected by it. So it emits less light.
- Your computer radiates less 'blue light' off – which can keep you awake if you use your PC before going to bed.
- Uses less energy, so the battery of your laptop lasts longer.
- Can potentially reduce tired and dry eyes in low light.
- Some specialists indicate that dark mode can help people with light sensitivity or visual impairment.
