After updating Windows 10 a few days ago I noticed that the background color of File Explorer had changed from white to black.
I went into Settings > Personalization > Colors and changed the "Choose your default app mode" setting from Dark to light.
File Explorer now has the desired white background but the Windows calculator has also changed to white.
How do I change the color of the calculator to black without affecting the color of the File Explorer background?

As I stated in my opening post, I did exactly that. The problem is that when I change to the dark background it also affects File Explorer (makes it dark). Before the recent Windows update the calculator was dark and File Explorer wasn't. How do I change it back to that?
