Windows 10/11 change color of taskbar.

In this guide, I will show you how to change the color of the taskbar in Windows 10 and Windows 11. If you are bored with the color of your Windows taskbar then you can choose to change the color to whatever you fancy.

When it comes to installing a fresh copy of Windows the first thing I like to do is change the wallpaper, and also change the color scheme such as the taskbar. There are some default colors you can choose from or you can color pick your very own color that you would like to use for the taskbar.

Don’t worry if you decide later on you do not want to use a custom taskbar color, and would prefer to use the default light or dark theme then you can always change back to this.
