Microsoft is working to enhance dark mode support in Windows 11, focusing on older system components, particularly legacy interfaces. Marcus Ash, head of Windows Design and Research, stated that efforts are underway to incorporate dark mode into more areas, including the Windows Registry Editor, although no timeline has been provided. Dark mode remains inconsistent across various system areas, such as File Properties dialogs, Registry Editor, Run dialog, Device Manager, and Disk Management. While some aspects of File Explorer have received dark mode support, others still display light-themed interfaces. Users should expect inconsistencies and are advised to use the system dark mode setting while regularly checking for updates. Microsoft has not disclosed specific details or timelines for future updates related to dark mode enhancements.
