HOW TO ENABLE DARK MODE IN NOTEPAD IN WINDOWS 11
The newest version of Notepad in Windows 11 supports dark mode. In addition to the dark mode, the Notepad gets a redesigned user interface that aligns well with the visual design of Windows 11.
Dark mode or dark theme is available in Windows 11. One can enable the dark mode by navigating to Settings > Personalization > Colors page and selecting the Dark option from the Choose your mode drop-down menu
.
When you turn on the dark mode, a dark theme is applied to the taskbar, Start menu, File Explorer, Settings app, and many other apps that support the dark mode. However, up until now, the built-in Notepad app did not support the dark mode. So, there was no way to enable the dark mode in the Notepad.
