How to change the look and feel of Windows 11

Settings Background.

On Windows 11, you can customize many settings to change the desktop's appearance and other elements to make the experience more personal or quickly refresh the feel to avoid the same look every day.

Although the experience is not as customizable as Windows 10, you can still change the desktop background with a personal picture or a theme from the Microsoft Store. You can switch between the dark and light color modes or use a custom accent color across the desktop. You can organize your favorite apps in the Start menu. You can change the alignment of the Taskbar, decide what items appear in the experience, tweak the system tray settings, and more.
