This tutorial will show you how to change the Screen Tint color strength for your account in Windows 11.
Starting with Windows 11 build 26300.8497 (Experimental), build 26220.8491 (Beta 25H2), build 28020.2298 (Beta 26H1), build 26100.8728 (RP 24H2), and build 26200.8728 (RP 25H2) for Insiders, Microsoft is introducing screen tint, a new accessibility setting that applies a color overlay across your entire display, softening its intensity so it's easier on your eyes throughout the day. If bright, saturated screens leave you with tired or sensitive eyes by the end of a long session, screen tint can help.
Night light warms your display to reduce blue light that can interfere with sleep. Screen tint reduces overall screen intensity to ease eye fatigue and light sensitivity during the day. They tackle different problems and you can use both at the same time, one working on warmth and the other on intensity.
You can select or create a custom color tint with the strength you want used for the screen tint.
The strength setting is for how intense the color is applied to the screen tint.
If you do not have the Screen Tint feature available in the build above yet and would like to try it now, you can enable it using the ViVeTool command below.
vivetool.exe /enable /id:60662124
