What is an accent color?
An accent color is essentially a shade used in comparatively small quantities in space. The primary objective behind using it is to add impact and interest. When added in small areas or corners of the screen, these colors can be complementary or add contrast to the main tone of the screen color.
Why can’t I show accent color on Taskbar?
Unless you have the appearance set to dark mode, you can’t set accent colors on the Start menu and taskbar in Windows. That’s because when you have the light mode enabled and visit the Colors section under the Settings, you’ll see the Start, Taskbar, all grayed out. So, to fix it, you’ll need to switch to dark mode first.
