Windows 11 users often prefer dark mode for eye comfort, but some dialog boxes remain white despite this setting. A hidden feature in the latest Insider Beta and Dev builds allows File Explorer dialog boxes to match the dark mode aesthetic. This update is notable as it addresses an inconsistency that has persisted since the OS's launch. To access this feature, users must be running on specified Insider builds and can enable it using a utility called ViveTool, which activates hidden features within the operating system.
Even when dark mode is enabled in Windows 11, some important dialog boxes remain white. A new beta feature may change that.
A lot of users prefer dark mode due to its ease on the eyes, with white dialog boxes being an abrupt contrast in a dark aesthetic.
The latest Windows 11 Insider Beta and Dev builds allow for dark mode dialog boxes in File Explorer, which is not available in the standard OS.
To activate new File Explorer dialog box dark mode, users need Windows Insider builds 26120.5751 for Beta or 26200.5751 for Dev channels.
