Custom Themes For Windows 10

[Venice]

Igo to o365 admin > settings > organisational profile > custom themes. But today it's greyed out and I can't make or save any changes. Tried another tenant and same thing happens. I have global admin rights and have always been able to do this. Does anyone know if anything has changed or if there is a global setting that might be affecting this?

@VasilMichev Custom themes seems to be glitchy in different browsers. Spoke with Support last week and we found it worked only by reverting to classic mode in the new edge but not chrome and FF. Tried again with another today and it's not working again - still same issue, even with edge. I was able to import a theme via powershell and override theming from there. But something is definitely not right with custom theming from within o365 admin for me.

Both Windows 10 and 11 allow users to create their own customized themes, where they can customize everything from sound to colors, background, and even the mouse cursor. In this guide, we will look at how to get creative with themes in Windows to jazz up the overall look of your system!

If you choose the Custom option, then you can further pick what you want your default Windows and app mode to be (light or dark). You can also scroll down the same window to pick an accent color of your choice.

Simply choose Sounds to open the Sound dialog and pick your preferred sound scheme. In the same dialog, you should see a Program Events section. Click on an event to test or change its default sound.

Click on the Mouse cursor option and in the following dialog, you can customize the buttons, pointers, wheel, hardware, and touchpad settings. The default mouse cursor settings are quite satisfactory, so we recommend you only change the ones you are sure about.

Till this point, you have made all the important changes needed to customize the theme. If you are satisfied with the results, click on the Save theme button in the Themes section of Personalization Settings. Enter a name for your theme, and you are good to go.

To change fonts, you can either use the ones already available in the Fonts' section of Personalization Settings or download new fonts. If you are considering customizing the taskbar, you can center the taskbar icons or change the taskbar icons for programs.

Head over to Windows Settings > Personalization > Themes to view the installed themes and pick the one you want to customize. If you would like to start from scratch, then you can choose the Background option in the same window. Choose the type of background you want.

The Microsoft Store offers a bunch of both free and paid themes that you can install and apply via Windows Settings on Windows 10 and 11. The method of downloading themes from the Microsoft Store on both the operating system versions is almost the same. We will use Windows 10 to demonstrate the steps in this method.

While the default Windows theme is quite satisfactory, you do not have to settle for it if you don't want to. Fortunately, Windows lets you customize almost all aspects of themes, so if you haven't done it yet, now might be the best time to give your desktop a personal touch.

You can also look for Windows themes from third-party programs online if you don't want to spend the time creating your own theme, and you aren't satisfied with what is available in the Microsoft Store.

As Konstantin Komissarchik said, I had to modify my OS colors. This is possible by adding a custom Visual Style to the Windows. With the aid of a Custom Theme and a Custom Visual Style for Windows 7 (Which I have changed a little bit), my Eclipse looks like the picture below:

The latest versions of Eclipse now come with a dark theme. Just go to Window -> Preferences -> General -> Appearance -> Theme and select "Dark" or another appropriate version based on your operating system.

A new dark window theme has been introduced. This popular community theme demonstrates the power of the underlying Eclipse 4 styling engine.

You can enable it from the General > Appearance preference page.

Plug-ins can contribute extensions to this theme to style their own specific views and editors to match the window theme.

The first is to change the appearance of what is inside the editor windows.

That can be done with the Eclipse Colour Theme plugin ( ). My favourite editor theme is Vibrant Ink with the Monaco font. They explain how to install their themes very well ( =how-to-use), although you get a fine set of dark themes with the default plugin install and may not need to come back to their website for any more. Get the plugin here.

The second stage is darkening the chrome of the UI, which is all the widgets and menus and everything outside of the child window canvases.

This plugin gives you a GUI editor for the chrome colour scheme: -themes/.

If you want a dark one, go ahead and click away until eclipse is dark.

Once you are done, some GUI surface area will show through the system theme as mentioned at the top of this post.

Rather than using that editor, you could install the pre-baked Dark Juno theme instead.

The install is manual.

Start by downloading it from here: -color-theme/eclipse-ui-themes.

It has to be copied into your eclipse dropins folder. This lives next to the eclipse executable, not in your workspace or someplace like that. In my case the command to do the copy was:

You could be running eclipse from any directory though, so which eclipse will tell you where it should go.

Restart eclipse and you should find a Dark Juno option under Preferences::General::Appearance. It is a nice neutral grey with some gradients and is a very good option.

The big fun is that, the codes are minimized by using Eclipse4 platform technologies like dependency injection.

It proves that again, the concise codes and advanced features could be achieved by contributing or extending with the external form(like library, framework).

New language is not necessary just for this kind of purpose.

if you may like, I uploaded on github a dark theme I made some months ago to avoid blinding my eyes when spending many hours on the editor.. I made it because with all the others themes some Eclipse parts remains ugly and unstyled.

With my Eclipse configurations works quite ok, if you'll find some elements that remains unstyled you can submit an issue or suggest a change and I'll try to correct it if it's possible ;) (remind that currently, CSS styling support in Eclipse it's uncomplete and sometimes buggy..)

Insert the custom css in css editor of Chrome Theme. I spend several hours with CSS Spy to find out all the relevant information to make eclipse as black and this file as small as possible. There is also an .epf File for the Chrome Theme plugin preferences you should import.You can get it from my dropbox: -_Y5j1PE

Eclipse uses native OS controls for most UI aspects (buttons, menus, lists, etc.). That's where colors for most of the IDE come from. The first step in making a "dark IDE" is to modify your OS color theme. Then you can add the color themes plugin to complete the look.

If the purpose of a dark theme is to make your eyes comfortable, you can enable High Contrast settings of your Operating System. For example in Windows 8.1 you can turn on - off High Contrast by pressing ALT + left SHIFT + PRINT SCREEN

If you are in ubuntu 12+ get compiz settings manager, in accessibility enable negative, set the shortcuts. The default is super+n. Now make eclipse be in focus and press the super+n or the key you set it as. This will apply negative filter on eclipse.

I've build a win 7 dark theme base on the popular windows 7 'concave 7' theme for eclipse dark juno theme.And I also create a dark theme inspired from the editor color theme 'Zenburn' created by Janni Nurmin

I've spent few hours looking for a nice solution to make my eclipse UI dark, and I have finally found a way to do it. I am using Fedora 18 and Eclipse for PHP Developers (PDT v3.0.2).

It's integrated with Eclipse Color Theme so that when a new theme is selected in preferences > general > appearance > color theme, the proper background is also applied to other parts of the IDE (theming everything or just views which are previously registered according to a combo in that same page).

Go to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\. Duplicate the folder aero and the file aero.theme. If you can't duplicate the folder and the file then right click on both, Properties, Security, Modify, add your user to Permissions, and set authorizations to modify, read and write.

Rename the folder C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\aero - copy and the file C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\aero - copy.theme to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\custom and C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\custom.theme (you can pick the name you want).

Set your custom theme (yet unchanged) by double-clicking on custom.theme. Then right-click on start menu button, go to Parameters -> Customize appearance -> Themes and select the second one. Go to the menu Colors, select dark mode for every applications. Choose custom color for accent color and put it full black.

PS - I think part of the problem is that I cycled through some of the custom css themes which overwrote obsidian.css. Now, to get back to default seems impossible. Do I have to reinstall the full app?

The default theme styling is bundled with the app. There is not a separate obsidian.css file. The default styling is always there. When you add a obsidian.css file you are overriding, not replacing, the default styling.

Again, we head over to the Windows Terminals Settings. Either click the Settings drop-down in the tab bar, or hit Ctrl+, (on Windows). This brings up your settings.json file, and you can quickly make any modifications you need.

Here's an example of implementing a custom color theme in the json file. You modify the schemes array and enter one or more themes here. Later, we will refer to the theme by the name - in the example below, that is Solarized Dark Patched.
