Compared to the older version of Windows, Windows 10 has more features and customization options. On Windows 10, you get the ability to change the Start menu color, taskbar color, etc. We have already shared an article on how to change the Start menu color. Today, we will be discussing the same for the Taskbar.

What’s more interesting is that Windows 10 also lets you change the taskbar color to match the desktop background. With that setting, Windows 10 automatically picks an accent color from your desktop background.
