Hello,

This is my very first post in this forum. I recently bought a Surface Pro 3 and I like to costumize my desktop as much as possible. That said, I wanted to ask if somebody could tell how to change the Metro interface color to white :

As you can see, there is no white option, the brightest option being light grey.

So is there anyway to change that, or does anyone know of any software that would make me able to do so ?

Sorry for my bad english. Anyway, thanks for your help ! :)

That's a good question.

Seems impossible by official ways but before attempting any hacks, which of course aren't recommended, why not try the 'High Contrast White' theme.

Then you'll get an idea.

This is a stripped-down theme compared to the default one but should do the job.
The only drawback is that not only Metro but all UI elements are white, including desktop, control panel, apps, etc...
As you can see, High Contrast disables the colors from customisation. In this case only Black texts & White backgrounds remain.

For more High Contrast variations check this thread.

Good luck.
