With One Click Get a Pure Black Theme on Windows 10! Some people don’t like Dark gray and light (white) color , so in this article I will show you how to get 100 % black taskbar, black start menu and black title bar on Windows 10.
Windows 10’s May 2019 Update includes a new light theme. Windows 10 had two color modes – light and dark. Microsoft redesigned the light theme so that apps, elements and other core UI elements are all shaded light. To change the Theme settings go to Settings > Personalization > Themes. Default Theme is light therefore Windows 10 taskbar is dark grey or light (white), some people want to change taskbar and start menu color into Dark preferably black. You may use the Windows Dark theme but , taskbar isn’t turn into pure black. Here is the solution!
To make the Windows 10 theme true black follow these steps:
Pure Dark.exe is an AIO (All in One) tool and it is a portable freeware Application to help users manage windows Theme. After Download , extract it and run the Pure Dark.exe , it has a Minimalistik GUI , you will see 8 Buttons. Of course , We recommend that you make a backup before changing a theme.

Hello, Colors Sometimes Microsoft does not give the actual code. You have to try and find it. This color code worked for me. Can you try “000202”?

I searched everywhere for a solution to make my taskbar black until I found your site… Many many hours… I was desperate for this because I have a few black spots at the bottom of my monitor and this was the only way to hide the problem… It also looks amazing with all black everything… Now I only have to look at them when I start and shutdown my machine… Thank you so much…
