Re: Night mode tip for Streets & Trips

What about Windows Vista? What can I do to have those settings in my laptop with WV?
Also, did someone knows if the Microsoft guys will ever think to to something about colors in Night Mode? Is awful. I cannot make differences between an Intersate and a rural road. All have the same color and the same thickness. And is only on Night Mode.
Somebody has to explain to Microsoft guys that Night Mode is for ....guess...Night. So who is driving at night a vehicle? Guess....truck drivers. If a car can mistake at night and turn on a wrong road is not a big deal. But if a truck gets into troubles the other guys who are using S&T but driving cars will have to wait until I can (if I can!) turn or back up my rig sometimes wait until the Police is comming to help me get out and give me a ticket.(I know I should post this at wish list but there are so many there and probably nobody will ever read wish list)

OK guys, I downloaded the dark mode and it works great. Problem is, once I turned it on, it's on all the time, in all programs. How do I toggle it off now?

Right click your Desktop and select Properties or Personalize. Then switch the Windows theme to anything other than Windows classic. "Windows XP" or "Aero" or "Standard," depending on your version of Windows.

Thanks, that works except it changes my desktop picture, screensaver and settings. I guess I need to set up my usual desktop as the alternate theme. Thanks for the help.

Re: Night mode tip for Streets & Trips

My laptop (lenovo thinkpad t42) has a function to change the screen brigthness by using the keyboard. It is very effective for night mode by keeping the original colors and dim them a lot so they can be used at night. May be your laptop has the same kind of feature?
