All of my machines do it that way, same for the default opening of Command Prompt and PowerShell/Terminal but they can be changed. I don't use Dark Mode.

Following... I have issues with the black screen of dismount too. It's also what I get when clicking to login after boot/restart. Be nice to change that too to a more motivating color.

Users want to change everything but there are SOME things we just have to live with. I do not think MS cares if a handful of folks are "motivated" or not. I mean, really, some parts of the GUI are so minor in the big scheme of things

Using Light Mode is the same.

Welp, I solved half my issue. You can get the Sign on screen to match the Welcome Screen:

Settings> Personalization> Lock Screen > "Show lock screen background picture on the sign-in screen".

Doesn't affect Ctrl-Alt-Del Screen though.

Since the display uses computing power could it be said that showing the seconds uses 60 times the power that showing a minute change uses?

I doubt it!
It was never an issue in Windows 10, I don't see why it has to be an issue in Windows 11!

i encountered the same issue when trying to set the CTRL+ALT+DEL screen to the same solid color background as my desktop (teal).

the following reg path appears to affect CTRL+ALT+DEL theme colors, both Standard and HighContrast
Code: 
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\DefaultColors

i do have alot of settings disabled that allow pictures and such. if anyone here uses a solid color background, could you see if this allows you to change the background color for the CTRL+ALT+DEL screen?
