Which registry entry do I need to modify to change my window color from white (which kills my eyes) to light gray (200, 200, 200)?

I've tried several, including:

  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors\Window
  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors\Background
  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\Colors\Window

but none seems to have any effect.

S.Leon is correct:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors]
"Window"="200 200 200"

Classic Color Panel is a handy tool for changing this and other system colour settings.

Annoyingly they took the feature that let you do this in Win7 out for Win10.

The closest I can think of would be to enable the "High Contrast" setting and then customize the colours to your preference. To do this go Control Panel -> Appearance and Personalisation -> High Contrast Settings.
