Customize the theme’s individual parts
From the Themes page, open the options for Background, Color, Sounds, or Mouse cursor to change those parts without choosing a different overall theme.
Choose a desktop background
For more background controls, go to Settings > Personalization > Background. Windows offers Picture, Solid Color, Slideshow, and Windows spotlight. With Picture, you can browse for an image stored on your device. Microsoft documents these options in its desktop background guide.
Set colors and color mode
Go to Settings > Personalization > Colors to choose Light, Dark, or Custom mode and adjust accent-color controls. Some apps control their appearance separately, and not all apps support dark mode. See Microsoft’s Windows color guidance.
