Desktop Themes For Windows 11 Free Download

[Cecelia Seiner]

Ican only find dark and light theme on anki desktop.

Ankidroid has four themes Light, Plain, Dark and Black. I use Black theme on Amoled screen.

When I view cards on desktop it does not feel consistent.

Please include Black theme or guide me to setting if it already has.

I just installed the Windows 10 1903 Feature Upgrade. My desktop is now a bright light blue. I want the previous theme back. I looked at themes and backgrounds, and there's very little there, and the previous option is gone.

A Windows Theme is a visual pattern that predefines the collection of wallpaper, icons, pointer, screensaver, sounds or any color styles which together form the looks of your PC. You have the options to customize the themes to your likings and modify the standard interface of your Windows PC.

There are Windows Themes available on this site and it's free to download. Each theme can be classified into certain categories such as games, animes, sport, movies, nature and just about anything you can think of. Now here you have the high-quality themes at your fingertips and we are constantly updating the new themes. Explore the Windows Themes galleries now!

Browse through the categories and pick any Windows themes according to your personal preferences. Before downloading the themes, please choose any version of your Windows 11, 10 or 7. Locate destination of the downloaded file and after opening the file, it will automatically go to the theme setting and you can change it to the recent themes.

With the growing popularity of animated wallpapers, we recommend you another way to customize your desktop. Live wallpapers are dynamic backgrounds that bring your desktop to life with animations and effects. You also can personalize live wallpapers in many ways, including the speed, direction of the animation and appearance.

I did have a single picture for my wallpaper, but then for some unknow reason, it reverted to slideshow. That I don't mind, but it won't hold the setting I set for my pictures - keeps changing to "center."

Thanks for the reply. Recommend you to leave the theme at Windows 10 and change the background settings to picture and check. If the issue persists, recommend you to contact our phone support as the representative can take a remote of your computer and check the settings for you. You can also refer Microsoft support page.

The computer has all windows updates. In fact, I believe it is the last update that resulted in the problem I am having. I have tried to over-ride the windows settings with a third party screen saver and wall paper changer, but the desktop still reverts back to whatever Windows wants to do.

I have changed the theme settings to picture - then slideshow - to "fit" - but it continues to use slideshow with the pictures centered. I considered go a restore back before the last windows update, however, I just had an upgrade to my internet. That resulted in hours of getting all my network devises reconnected - so a restore would wipe out all that work.

I appreciate your time and if you have any oher suggestions, would love to hear about them. I believe it is just a glitch in the last Windows update. Snce there is no "save" when changes are made, it doesn't appear that changes are saved!

My main problem is the reliable detection of whether currently a dark or bright theme is used on linux (for windows see below); on XFCE, the check for QPalette color roles as mentioned in this answer works, but this does not work on Gnome and KDE Plasma for me (tested under both Ubuntu 22.04 and Fedora 36, my app built against Qt versions 6.5beta2 and 6.4.2, respectively); there the colors still seem to be taken from what I've set as XFCE theme on the same machine (and when starting xfce4-appearance-settings and changing the theme there, my app picks up the change). I would however like to adapt to the current desktop's dark mode setting.

So, my question is: How do I reliably detect application dark mode of the currently used desktop on Qt? I'm not averse to implementing a little custom platform-specific code if nothing is available directly in Qt, but it would be great if it would work without using additional libraries.

A note I saw for QApplication::setPalette I thought might be relevant here, namely "Some styles do not use the palette for all drawing, for instance, if they make use of native theme engines.", what are these all about? I did not see a link to a documentation for this feature, and a quick search for the term "qt native theme engine" also didn't seem to yield any useful results.

On Windows, via checking for changes to the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize (the StyleChange unfortunately isn't triggered there at all - a Qt bug?). .

Since Qt 6.5 the official way of detecting dark or light theme is getting QGuiApplication::styleHints() and then calling QStyleHints::colorScheme() and testing whether the returned value is either Qt::ColorScheme::Dark or Qt::ColorScheme::Light. For detecting the theme change event event, I am catching QEvent::ThemeChange in the main window's changeEvent() handler.

As of Qt 6.5.3 I am observing a strange behavior that ThemeChange event is called multiple times on Windows. Maybe it is a bug, maybe not. But you should count on this fact so before you switch your application to the desired theme, check if it not already with this theme. This way you avoid unnecessary multiple switching after each of the multiple events.

The switching to dark mode can be done by defining your dark stylesheets (I do not recommend stylesheets in general) or by using some QStyle which supports custom palettes and switch to some dark palette, e.g. Fusion (default on Linux). Sadly the "native" styles for macOS and Windows do not work well with custom palettes. macOS style but should allow dark mode automatically - but again, I have not tested it. You can also for example try Phantom style which also supports custom palettes.

elementary OS is an example. But this issue is gonna be a lot morecommon since GNOME adopted the freedesktop colorscheme preferenceinstead of dark GTK themes for the next version. KDE Plasma has a PRto adopt this as well.

Some GTK based desktops still cling to the GTK themes stuff. KDE pretty much has no rules. Pay attention to the discussion about libAdwaita. It changes/ed light to dark without sharing that information in any common place.

You can't really trust any system settings on Gnome because gnome-tweaks creates higher priority settings rather than changing the system level settings. You may get lucky and identify org.gnome.* services which will provide you a place to DBus listen/view. I didn't dive through all of the doc.

Manjaro is taking over the Linux desktop world. You need to see how Manjaro/Arch stores these values. Ubuntu has gotten too bloated and unstable for many desktop users. I switched to Manjaro a couple of years ago and only run Ubuntu in VMs for Yocto builds.

This isn't a Qt-specific thing. Many applications set their own application style which does not follow system theme-ing. They do it for uniform support across platforms. If that statement is unclear to you, take a look at TextMaker.

By "default" Qt applications were supposed to inherit the system theme. This hasn't really been maintained in the library. If it was, you could create a default QStyle object (which would inherit the system theme) and then pluck out the values you needed.

On the plus side, Mac (the recent BSD based stuff) and all Linux distros should have DBus. Somewhere in the DBus list of services should be one that identifies the current desktop (Gtk, KDE, etc.) and from there you should be able to identify what you need to look at.

At one point Qt really only inherited on KDE desktops. I am not certain it even does that anymore. Late in Qt 4.x they came up with all of these QStyle classes that were "close" to the "default" desktop colors at that point in time.

I haven't changed my background in over a year, and I'm using Windows XP, so this might not be true for newer versions of Firefox or Windows, but I found my background image under "C:\Documents and Settings\Current User\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Desktop Background.bmp". Of course, replace Current User with your Windows login name.

Thanks. But I was referring to images set as desktop background. That just saves it to where ever it puts wallpaper. I was playing around with desktop themes and my wallpaper is not listed anywhere and I have no idea where to browse to.

I've tried searching and browsing for it but I can't find my wallpaper that I had before messing with themes. Windows 7 search just throws up a bunch of other junk I Am not looking for and makes it hard to just search in a general location, instead it has to give me every indexed image file on my pc. It's like whittling a tree into a toothpick to find what I'm looking for.

I used Firefox to install a Windows desktop background from an image I found on the web. Now I cannot locate the file that was my previous desktop wallpaper. I found the image on the web and I do not remember where.

You did not look at the link that I provided above ( -desktop-background-change.html ); it tells you how to set the wallpaper and, when following the instructions given there, will probably even tell you or will highlight which image is currently set as the wallpaper.
