Not only will this change give your computer a fresh new look, but it can also make it easier on your eyes, especially when working with dark backgrounds. Let’s get started!
Step 1: Enable God Mode
First, you’ll need to enable God Mode, which is a hidden feature in Windows that provides access to all settings and options. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Open the File Explorer by pressing Windows key + E.
2. In the address bar, type “%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp” and press Enter.
3. Right-click on an empty space in the folder and select “New” > “Folder.”
4. Name the folder “GodMode” (without quotes) and press Enter.
Now, you can access God Mode by simply typing “GodMode” in the search bar and pressing Enter.
Step 2: Open God Mode and Configure File Explorer
With God Mode enabled, you can now open it and make the necessary changes to customize your file explorer.
1. Open God Mode.
2. In the search box, type “Windows Registry Editor” and press Enter.
3. Click on “Windows Registry Editor” in the list of results.
4. In the registry editor, navigate to the following path:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
5. On the right-hand side, find the “UseDarkMode” DWORD (32-bit) value and double-click it.
6. Set the value to 1 to enable dark mode or 0 to disable it.
7. Click “OK” and close the registry editor.
Step 3: Restart File Explorer
After making the changes to the registry, you’ll need to restart the File Explorer to see the black theme applied.
1. Press Windows key + X and select “Task Manager.”
2. In Task Manager, go to the “Details” tab.
3. Find “Windows Explorer” in the list and right-click on it.
4. Select “End Task” to close the File Explorer.
5. Click “File” > “New Task (Run)” and type “explorer.exe” in the box.
6. Press Enter to restart the File Explorer with the new theme.
And voilà! Your file explorer should now be black, giving you a sleek and modern look that matches your personal style. Enjoy your new file explorer experience!
