I thought it was about turning Cortana and other bloatwares off... Bummer.

Yuck... I'll keep my dark theme

This will be followed by Ultraviolet Light Mode, which was a feature that was highly requested by people unwilling to go outside.

I think it looks pretty cool but dark theme is definitely easier on the eyes, especially at night.

I think this has been on the mobile OS for quite a number of years.

I got sick of all the issues and LAME UPDATES , sticking to my LINUX roots now.

This entire thing is idiotic. Windows always (going back to Windows 3.1) had a theme editor where you could simply set up an OS-wide color scheme you liked, and all applications would inherit it because they drew their UI elements in the colors that the system dictated for them.

WTF happened? Sometime around Vista or Windows 8, the whole theme editor just disappeared. What an idiotic regression, just in time for everyone to realize that the inverse color theme that OSes have been pushing for the last 30 years is stupid.

Vista definitely still had it. The Classic theme was removed in Win8

How many engineering man hours and company resources did this take? Yet another distraction from fixing real issues with Windows 10.

Give folks back the ability to modify how Windows appears on their system and be done with it.

Oh GODDAMMITSOMUCH I thought 'light mode' meant WITHOUT THE BLOAT, like the old Pro or Enterprise installs. -.-

Even Win10 LTSB is full of garbage I don;t want/need now.

* Goes back to HATING Windows 10 *

And I actually thought they made a Lite edition for windows aka without 90+% junk.

Guess Windows 7 Lite that has only a CD's space needed for the kit is still the best clean option atm, except server versions of course.
