High contrast theme in Windows is a blessing for PC users with eye disabilities. The theme when enabled increases the color contrast (with a combination of black, white, and other colors) of text, images on the screen, and borders. As a result, it makes it easier for users to read the content on screen.

How To Enable/Disable High Contrast Theme in Windows 11

The effect of the High Contrast Theme will be applied to the following UI Components:

  • Background
  • Text,
  • Hyperlink
  • Inactive text
  • Selected text
  • Button text

In case, you want to enable High Contrast theme on your computer either because you’re facing difficulties in reading content on the screen or you just want to give it a try.
