However, take note that most of your desktop applications will not be affected by default\u2013&#8211;only the ones associated with Microsoft and Windows. You should always check the settings for other applications, as they may have dark mode built into them.<\/p>\n<h2>Enable Dark Mode for Windows<\/h2>\n<p>The blanket setting for dark mode in the Windows operating system can be found here: <strong>Settings &gt; Personalization &gt; Colors<\/strong>. You should see the option for dark mode under <strong>Choose Your App Mode<\/strong>. This does not change all of the settings for all of your applications, so be sure to check the settings for any apps you use on the regular.<\/p>\n<h2>Enable Dark Mode for Edge<\/h2>\n<p>Microsoft Edge is Windows\u2019 default web browser, so (as expected) it has a dark mode setting. You can enable it through the three-dot menu on the right side of the screen. Select <strong>Settings<\/strong>, then navigate to the drop-down menu and select <strong>Choose A Theme<\/strong>. From here, select <strong>Dark<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Enable Dark Mode for Microsoft Office<\/h2>\n<p>Microsoft Office has a dark option that can be enabled through the settings. You can do so by opening any Office application, like Word or PowerPoint, then going to <strong>File &gt; Options<\/strong>. Under the <strong>General<\/strong> tab, click on <strong>Personalize Your Copy of Microsoft Office<\/strong>. You can then set your Office theme to Black.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s all you need to do; dark mode should be enabled on your Microsoft products. Other applications might have extensions or add-ons that enable it, so just make sure you do a quick search to see how you can make dark mode happen for your specific applications. Just make sure they are legitimate\u2013&#8211;you don\u2019t want to put your infrastructure at risk trying to make things more convenient for yourself.<\/p>\n<p>We hope you have found this blog helpful!
