You can also add app notifications to the lock screen. A great way to use this is for tracking appointments and other deadlines since your computer will immediately let you know what you need to do that day.
- Pick a Color Mode
This is a fast way to change the color settings throughout your computer. Find the “colors” menu under “personalization” and switch between the modes by clicking where it says “more options.” Typically, you’ll want to keep it on light mode during the day and use dark mode at night or when working in low-light settings.
- Change Accent Colors
Another area to check out in this menu deals with accent colors. These are part of windows, menus, and more throughout your computer. It’s easy to pick from the colors they offer or you can add your own for even more personalization.
