switch to dark mode

In this post, I talk about to switch to dark mode automatically on Windows. Why? Although Windows 11 comes with an option to switch between the light and dark modes, it’s a manual process that requires several steps.

Furthermore, the application also includes exceptions to prevent the switch while you are gaming or running on battery. You can even specify whether apps, including…

It’s a lot like how PowerPoint made it easy for anyone to create business presentations.
