Is There a Dark Mode for Windows 11?
Windows 11 includes a built-in dark mode which will automatically switch Windows to a dark theme.

Windows dark mode is a feature built into Windows 11, so you don’t have to make it, you just have to turn it on. However, Windows 11 does allow for a little bit of customization.

Night Light can be used together with Windows 11 dark mode or on its own. Here’s how to turn on Night Light in Windows 11:
