Windows 11 Taskbar Not Black Like The One in Windows 10

[spacelordmaster]

Ok so now I am getting a bit frustrated with Windows 11. On Windows 10 the taskbar was completely black, but on Windows 11 is dark gray, even though I am in Dark Mode. Is there any way to fix this?

Windows 10 never offered a black one either. You probably used something like Winaero Tweaker to get around that. I’m not sure if that will work the same in 11.

You can make it black ... black by turning off transparency.  At least in Win 10..... don't know about 11.

Not by that method, no.

 

You can with contrast themes.

aah.  I was replying to the "Windows 10 never offered a black one either" ... no idea if Win 11 has this method.  The color options in these latest Windows version have been kinda meh.

If you use Winaero Tweaker, you can add your own. You won’t get a black taskbar though unless you use something like Start11 and set a custom black

color, which windows won’t allow through its own settings. I just tested it and will post a screenshot.

Boys turning off transparency isn't doing the trick and no I have never used Winaero tweaker on Windows 10.
