Step 1: Launch the Photos app, and then click the horizontal Ellipsis (three dots) icon to the upper right corner of the window. But rather than changing the system color (which we’ll look at further below) and impacting other native Windows 10 apps in the process, the Photos app includes its built-in toggles that you can use to switch between both modes swiftly. Change Background Color Directlyīy default, the Photos app displays the color mode (Light or Dark) as specified by the operating system. Or perhaps it’s merely a matter of aesthetics - your choice. But all you can do now is manually change the background color depending on the image that you want to view. Microsoft could have alleviated this issue by employing a lighter shade of blue as in the older Windows Photo Viewer. Transparent PNG images that possess black or white elements can completely merge with the background Another inconvenient scenario occurs with image borders, where it’s often impossible to discern colors when the Photos app displays a darker background. For example, transparent PNG images that possess black or white elements can completely merge with the background and look just ridiculous.
