- Scroll down and click on the Dark button under “Choose your default app mode.”
Once you select Dark Mode, your Settings app will instantly turn dark (as well as other Windows apps).
But if you want the true Dark Mode experience, you’re also going to want to turn your desktop to be dark as well. Here’s how you can turn your desktop black:
