How to Change Phone Link App Theme in Windows 11
This guide explains how to change the appearance of the Phone Link app on your Windows 11 computer. You can easily switch between a light or dark look to match your preferences.
Why change your theme?
Changing the theme helps reduce eye strain, especially in dark rooms. It also lets you customize the app to look exactly how you want it.
What happens when done?
Once you finish, the Phone Link app will immediately update its colors. This change only affects the app itself and will not change the theme of your entire Windows system.
Windows allows you to use the Phone Link app to link their phones and seamlessly communicate and transfer data.
The Phone Link app lets you instantly access your Android or iPhone apps from your PC. Then, using a Wi-Fi connection or Bluetooth connection, browse, play, order, chat, and more — all while using your PC’s larger screen and keyboard.
Steps to change your Phone Link theme
Follow these steps to adjust your settings:
- Open the Phone Link app. You can find it by clicking the Start menu, selecting All apps, and choosing Phone Link. You can also open it by clicking the app icon on the Taskbar (Taskbar overflow).
- Once the app is open, click the Settings (gear) icon located at the top right corner of the window.

Note: You do not need admin privileges to perform these steps.
- Look for the Personalization section.
- Under the Theme menu, pick the look you prefer:
- Light: A bright white background.
- Dark: A black background that is easier on the eyes.
- Use Windows settings: The app will automatically match whatever theme your computer is currently using.
- Close the app to save your changes.

Summary
The Phone Link app is a great tool for connecting your mobile device to your PC. By following these simple steps, you can quickly toggle between light and dark modes to create a more comfortable viewing experience while you work or play on your computer.
