How to Fix Show Color on Taskbar Greyed Out on Windows 10.
The Light mode starts with Windows 10 version 1903, bringing lighter colors for all the visual elements. This new theme affects parts of Windows like the taskbar, Start menu, notification popups, and context menus, not including third-party Windows applications.
If you activate the Light mode, this mode does not support colorization. So, your Windows operating system will disable the Start, taskbar, and action center option. This also prevents you from applying any color to the Start menu and taskbar.
Many users have reported a weird issue after installing a new feature update for Windows 10. While trying to make changes to the Colors settings in Windows 10, the options are greyed out under Show accent color on the following surfaces. If the Show accent color setting for Start, Taskbar, Action Center, Title Bar is missing, grayed out, or not working or supported in Windows 10, then this post will help you.
The taskbar on Windows 10 can show the accent color that’s set for your system. The color setting for the taskbar is grouped with the Start Menu and the Action Center. You have to enable color for all three or disable it for all of them. The color selection is up to you; you can pick one yourself or you can let Windows 10 pick one based on the wallpaper that you’ve set.
If you’re using a light theme on your computer, you’ll find that the Start, taskbar, and action center option in the color settings menu is grayed out. It means you can’t touch and edit it in your settings. The reason why it’s been disabled is because if Windows allowed you to change the accent color of these elements in a light theme, these elements might not be properly visible on your screen.
However, if you must work with the option and you’d like it enabled, there are a few ways to do it. Basically, you can just go into the Settings app and enable an option and it’ll activate the option for you.
