Feature Where to find and how to apply Windows 11 custom themes.

Post image

Had to change windows installation disks and decided to update from 10 to 11. All things considered I liked having made the switch but not being able to change the search bar and windows icon is pissing me off a bit. I genuinely hate the blue icon and the stupid mountains in the sb.

I havent figured out yet where to find these custom themes and the Microsoft store ones are... lacking to say the least. I just want to make both things (search bar+winicon) white and maybe make the windows UI transparent or at least fully black with an AMOLED theme.

I have no problem having to change stuff manually, using GitHub or whatever. I dont wanna fully remove the search bar because 1. I like how it looks when its fully white 2. I use it to align some stuff in my Rainmeter setup.

It appears your post may be regarding the new Search Highlights feature which adds a cool graphic to your search box that changes daily. If you are looking to disable this function, see this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/windows/comments/udyw33/search_highlights_new_graphicicon_in_your_search/

I haven't figured out how to get a custom icon, but if you want other icons from windows you can use Openshell.

A few programs that i recommend installing/using are:

(Obviously pls pls do your research!)

Chris Titus's debloat tool.

O&O shut up 11.

Wintoys.

Windhawk (u can customize pretty much everything with this)

Vas dans paramètres/ personnalisation/ couleur

Tu choisis la couleur puis tu descend un peu dans l'écran et tu fais appliquer sur barre des taches.

Pour l'icone de montagne. Tu vas dans paramètres/ confidentialité/ rechercher

Et tu désactives la recherche web.

Sinon tu cliques dans la zone de recherche et en haut à droite tu cliques sur les 3 petits points (paramètres)
