Microsoft tests dark mode in old Windows 11 system tools
Microsoft's added dark mode to Hyper-V Manager, a virtual machine tool in Windows 11 that's built on old Win32 code. But the update's unfinished: some screens and side tools still stick to the light theme, leaving a mix of styles. Only parts of Hyper-V Manager are actually dark, while others—including key views—haven't changed yet. Full dark mode support for all legacy elements is still a work in progress.
- Hyper-V Manager now supports partial dark mode
- Many screens and views remain in light theme
- Quick Create Gallery, VM Connection not yet updated
- Microsoft aims for future uniform UI with WinUI 3 framework
