How To Enable Night Mode On Windows 7,8,8.1,10 And Mac

As a matter of fact, most people aren’t even aware that they can enable the night mode on their laptops, just the way they do it on their mobile phones. However, if you use a desktop, then we’d like to clarify that the night mode is probably not going to be as beneficial to you, as it would be to someone using a Windows laptop or Macbook. If you are wondering how to activate this on your computer, then hang around and we’ll help you figure that out

Benefits of using the Night Mode

By activating the night mode, you can read for a longer duration without straining your eyes. This works great for students who use e-books or for professionals involved in jobs that require a great deal of research.
You save energy by making use of the night mode as it reduces the brightness levels, which in turn reduces the energy consumption.
Ideal for those who live in shared accommodation as using your PC in the night mode does not emit as much light as it otherwise would, and disturb those around you.

Enable night mode on Windows 7,8,8.1 without any third-party software

Windows 7,8,8.1 and the later versions have a rather underrated feature — called the Magnifier. This feature was initially designed for those who are visually impaired. However, if you use it as we recommend, then it may help prevent loss of vision.

The Magnifier tool gives you the color inversion option, which also lets you set the night mode. Let us now figure out how you can do this.

To start using the Magnifier, click on the ‘Start’ button. Then, type ‘Magnifier’ in the search bar and then click on it.

By default, the zoom level is +250%. To zoom out, just click on the minus (-) button until you’ve reached 100%.

After that, click on the settings button or the gear button, and tick the checkbox next to ‘Turn on color inversion’ option and click OK and you are done.

Another way if you like-

Turn high contrast mode on or off

Select the Start button , and then select Settings > Ease of Access > High contrast.

To turn on high contrast mode, select the toggle button under Turn on high contrast. Windows may display a “Please wait” screen for a few seconds after which the colors on the screen change.
Select the theme that works best for you from the Choose a theme dropdown menu.

To turn off high contrast mode, select the Turn on high contrast toggle button again. Windows may again display a “Please wait” screen for a few seconds after which the colors on the screen change back to default.

Enable night mode on Windows 10 without any third-party software

If you have an updated Windows 10 version in your PC, then enabling the night mode becomes as easy as toggling a button.

To do this, simply click on Settings.

Then click on System, and from the list under it, click on ‘Display’.
Finally, turn on the toggle button under ‘Color’.

As you can now see, you have enabled the night mode. This would then be set according to the timezone that you are located in.
