I want a white taskbar in windows 11. Can anyone tell me how? I have already exhausted Personalize which does not allow white. I would have thought that was the simplest choice...

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Settings

    Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    Windows 11 accent colors cannot be set to white or black, for some unknown reason those two colors are blocked, the nearest color you would get to white is by setting the Windows Theme to Light.

    You are correct that in ...

    Settings > Personalization > Colors > Custom colors > View colors

    ... pure white is not supported. That's not a mistake - it's probably an intentional choice, and probably related to the overall color scheme for Windows 11.

    In addition, you might have seen that you cannot give the taskbar its own color, because Start and the taskbar share a color.

    Nevertheless, you might be able to find a third-party utility that can give you a white taskbar only. You might also try playing with the high contrast color schemes, but they will include effects that you may not like.
