0

Microsoft recently released Windows 10 Build 21332 to dev channel. The Build brought “Theme-aware splash screens” back and also enabled paste as plain text feature to everyone in dev channel.

The Theme-aware splash-screen feature was introduced with Build 20241 back in October 2020. It makes splash screen of UWP apps match the default app theme.

Building on theme-aware tiles in Start, we’re introducing theme-aware splash screens for Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps. Now, when an eligible UWP app is launched, the splash screen color will match your default app mode. For example, if you have light theme turned on, you’ll see a light theme splash screen, and if you have dark theme turned on (for the “default app mode”) then you’ll see a dark theme splash screen.

Over time, more apps will be updated via the Store to support having a theme-aware splash screen.
