devTea240946yI don’t think they’re even trying, just set the background dark and that’s it, dark theme
-
JS96184936yAnother thing I noticed is that the context menu is dark, but the dialogs aren't… everytime they implement something new it's always incomplete.
Instead of releasing 2 updates per year, I would prefer 1 update but complete. -
I couldn't agree more..
Just removing some of those vertical borders that break the blacks would do wonders. The white progress bars indicating drive capacity should also have been themed.
As some of you said, the icons should also have been touched a bit.
Seems a bit lazy -
Not just you mate. It sucks but still better than nothing. From what I read, MS is worried that updating some components will break older software so they are being extra careful.
Hopefully they improve this because it truly sucks at its current state. -
why not make use of a theme usage like vsc in the first place? downloadable for non-techies, customizable for us? readable standard format... plus sourcecoude seamlessly fitting in os appearance. that'd be nice.

FIle Explorer is still a legacy Win32 application. Until they make a UWP App then the consistency just won't be there. I mean good on them for trying but they should have just made it a UWP App so it would fit better with the whole windows 10 ecosystem.

@Puddinglord thanks for reminding me i still have to try out the 'hidden one'

taosif711856yNo matter how much you try, you're all gonna hate windows for one or another reason. try to appreciate it sometimes. atleast it tried.

JS96184936y@taosif7 I'm a fan of Windows, but this time Apple won the "implement a dark theme challenge".

PreyK22446y@Puddinglord god please no! Imagine a file explorer where you can’t navigate with the keyboard you have to use the mouse for everything, the new uwp apps are pure garbage. (old control panel vs new settings app)
-
@PreyK Honestly for most intensive things I just use git bash which give me most all of the Unix functionality I need on windows.
-
Drewtato2596yYeah, it's not the best. Lots of issues with color/design/icons but at least it's thorough. They got all the context menus and even the tooltips in dark mode, as well as dimming the title bar color. They're making progress for sure, just might take a while.

@CozyPlanes Misleading comments. It is not "All User Files" It is "Files in Documents Folder"
Not saying it is not happening, but both my PCs have been getting the insider builds and I haven't lost any file. -
Microsoft doesn't add dark theme - "Windows has no dark theme, i hate windows."
Microsoft adds dark theme - "The dark theme looks shit😥"

Is it just me or the new dark theme on Windows 10 looks really bad?
Too much contrast and bad icons.
Why they didn't used the colors of the really nice looking Visual Studio?
