All the tips to personalize your Windows 11 desktop

Windows 11 lets you change colors, wallpapers, and other settings to make your experience a little more personal.

On Windows 11, you can customize many settings to change the desktop's appearance and other elements to make the experience a little more personal or quickly refresh the feel to avoid the same look every day.

Although the experience is not as customizable as on Windows 10, you can still change the desktop background with a personal picture or a theme from the Microsoft Store. You can switch between the dark and light color modes or use a custom accent color across the desktop. You can organize your favorite apps in the Start menu. And you can change the alignment of the Taskbar, decide what items appear in the experience, tweak the system tray settings, and a lot more.

In this Windows 11 guide, we will walk you through the different ways to customize the appearance to make your computer experience a little more personal.

How to change background on Windows 11

On Windows 11, the quickest way to make the desktop look different is by changing the background image, configuring a slideshow, or choosing a solid background color. If you are using the virtual desktops feature, it's now possible to set a custom background for each desktop.

  6. Select the background image to use on the desktop.
  7. Click the Choose picture button.
