Windows 10 browser background too bright

Minerva69

I have just got Window 10 on a new laptop and I find the background on web pages too bright for my eyes. I've tried changing the brightness settings and I've changed from the "light" to "dark" theme in Edge, which helps with the menu bar but it doesn't change the background of web pages.

Is it possible to change the background colour in either Edge or Chrome to make it darker?

My new laptop (Lenova) has keys for brightness on the top level of the keyboard. They look like a cog with a plus and minus next to them. Pressing them brings up the display.


You can also right click the desktop, and click Display. There are brightness levels which can be altered there.


Good luck

More often than not the page background colour will be white and there will be no option to change that. Your only option is to reduce the display brightness and on laptops (as the post above says) there will usually be a key to do that an the keyboard. - mine are on the F2 and F3 keys and are a small and larger asterisk but this will vary by brand and model.

For Chrome you could try extension Care your Eyes

Thanks, I know about the brightness keys (which I've tried) but it is the page backgrounds on certain websites that are too bright and it seems I can't do anything about that in Edge. I'll try the Chrome extension and see if that helps, thanks.

Interesting extension. I hope it fixes this issue for you.

Microsoft have decided that they know what is the best colour scheme for you, and if you don't like it then you'll just have to learn to.
