Thank you for the response. I am using icloud.com on a PC. I'm not seeing an option to change from dark mode when I click on the "Customize" button.

Sorry to be an annoying PC user, but neither of these solutions changes the dark mode in iCloud email. I have Windows 11 and there is no App Mode. The background color choices for iCloud are too bright and don't change the background in iCloud email.


I think it's time for me to find an email provider other than iCloud. I don't know why iCloud forced these changes on us, I certainly didn't request them. Thank you for your help anyway.

To turn off Dark Mode on iCloud.com in Windows, simply ensure your system-wide Windows settings are set to "Light Mode" as iCloud.com will automatically match your device's dark mode setting; you don't need to adjust anything specific on the iCloud website itself. 


Here's how to change your Windows system settings to Light Mode:

  • Open Settings: Click the Start menu and select "Settings".
  • Go to Personalization: Select "Personalization" from the left-hand menu.
  • Choose Colors: Click on "Colors".
  • Select Light Mode: Under "Choose your mode," select "Light". 

Key points to remember:

  • System-wide change:
  • Modifying your Windows system settings to Light Mode will automatically apply to iCloud.com as well. 

  • No dedicated iCloud setting:
  • Unlike some applications, iCloud.com doesn't have a separate dark mode toggle within the website itself.
