Right now, though, CShell is pretty far away from hitting desktop devices, meaning for now we're stuck with this inconsistent experience. We also know that Microsoft is working on CShell, which will feature light mode in areas such as the taskbar, and Start menu. In this same perfect world, dark mode would be consistent across in-box apps and available in all of them rather than "most of them." Microsoft is currently working on implementing a new design language in Windows 10 called Fluent Design, which should hopefully see a lot of UI elements align with consistency. In a perfect world, the light mode would make all UI areas light, including the most prominent, always-on screen parts of the experience, or the Windows Shell. But in dark mode, you get an inconsistent dark app experience, that matches the rest of the Windows Shell. So, in light mode, you get a rather consistent light mode in apps, which clashes with the Windows Shell because it is dark all the time. System elements such as the taskbar, Start menu, and Action Center simply ignore light mode. And the light mode is even worse than the dark mode when it comes to consistency. You wouldn't think this was a "light mode" would you? Well, it is. Windows 10, by default, is set to light mode (see above image). The biggest issue I have with dark mode actually has nothing to do with dark mode, but rather, the light mode.
