- ttsoldierRetired AmbassadorSince Windows 8/8.1 I have never gotten theme syncing to work. Maybe I have it figured out in my head wrong but I am under the impression that if you set your color to red on your desktop, it will sync and change your color to red on your phone. This is what I want but I have never gotten it to work. Ever.
Sync settings are fine both ways and everything else sync - all my known wifi networks, edge favorites and edge passwords sync fine across my devices.
The "theme" however does not. Does anyone experience this problem? Does the theme syncing even work??12-07-2016 01:56 PMLike 0 - I don't think this is a problem, you can sync documents, edge (favorites, passwords, etc.) but you can only sync the themes between desktops. Not from desktop to phone. So if you have two desktop computers or even laptops running windows 10 you can sync your desktop backgrounds on both devices. (I am not sure about themes but backgrounds, yes). It also works if you have a computer running windows 10 and the other running windows 8. But what you wrote about being able to sync the themes on phone and pc is not a bad idea and I think that Microsoft should include this feature in future builds. Hope that information helps you. Have a nice day.

- I recently got a new laptop and when I first signed in it did sync the theme, sign in pic and everything but now if I change my background picture on my desktop it does not update my laptop. Yes OneDrive files are available but this is related to the Themes sync only. I do not want to create a new user to see if it works with that user I would really appreciate some insight other than making sure Sync is turned on, which it is on both computers.03-09-2017 01:39 PMLike 0

This is what happens with me exactly--
1) Windows 8 PC always syncs with my phone(only color, wallpaper doesn't change) but not with my Windows 10 PC, and if I change accent color on my Phone, I does change on my windows 8 PC, but not Windows 10 Laptop.
2) If I change Wallpaper and color on my Windows 10 Laptop, it simply syncs with my Windows 8 PC, but not my phone directly. I've to boot my Windows 8 PC so that it first syncs with Windows 10 laptop, and then with my phone, changing accent color on my phone.
P.S.-
1) I've never got it to work as desired.
2) It's alot weirder than it sounds.06-05-2017 08:28 AMLike 0 - I have my theme synced between my Windows 10 phone and Windows 8 PC. Sometimes it syncs with my windows 10 Laptop, sometimes not. It's a hit or a miss with windows theme sync.

Not long ago, when I read an email on one of my computers, it would show up as read on the other computers (and even on my W10 950XL). As of late they are not meshing, and if I read emails on one computer, it is not registered on the other computers; for example: if I read all my emails on the downstairs computer, and then go to my desktop I still have ALL the same emails showing up as unread again...VERY, VERY frustrating.08-18-2017 04:02 PMLike 0
