Microsoft removed this window in Windows 8 and later, but the settings are still there in the registry and still work. If you wish you could still edit these colors, consider letting Microsoft know how you feel about that decision as their customer. You can set the registry keys by importing .reg files:

  • DarkTheme.reg - Install this to set a dark theme created for Windows users by the CKAN team: Dark CKAN

  • DefaultTheme.reg - Install this to revert to revert back to normal bright colors

import

Click Yes, then reboot to apply the settings.
