Microsoft has managed to have a near-perfect dark mode almost a decade after it was first introduced in Windows 10 in 2016.
After dealing with the problematic areas of the operating system that looked like a mix of dark and light modes, the tech giant has released a preview build of Windows 11, which now includes even more darkened UI elements.
Phantomofearth, a Windows' watcher, spotted updated file operation dialogues with a dark theme, which, in case of copying and deleting files appear in dark mode, showcasing clear progress.
Microsoft has not officially announced any improvements to its Windows 11 dark mode; however, these small changes could indicate a broader overhaul is coming in time for the 25H2 update later this year.
The Control Panel, Run prompt, and file properties UI are all still given a light mode, as experts hope Microsoft finds the time after nearly 10 years to address these as well.
However, the chances are slim, as it took a few years for Microsoft to add a dark mode to File Explorer in Windows 10, after a mixture of light and dark modes.
On the other hand, Apple has long had a consistent dark mode in macOS, since it shipped with macOS Mojave in 2018.
A new Liquid Glass redesign is even on the way later this year, with a bigger focus on translucency.
