Microsoft is proceeding with the new Notepad app that specifically comes for Windows 11 to go perfectly with its graphical aesthetics and support dark mode. If you are a typical user of the Notepad app, changing to dark mode will make the experience easier on the eyes when operating it in the late hours. Now, let us have a look at how to enable dark mode in Notepad on Windows 11.
Enable Dark Mode in Notepad through Notepad Settings
If you want to enable Dark Mode for the Notepad app on Windows 11, all you need is to follow these steps:
First, open the Notepad app by clicking the Windows Start Menu and searching for it.
Once the Notepad app launches, click the ‘gear (Settings)’ icon on the top left corner.
Next, click on ‘App theme’ from the Notepad settings to reveal the options.
The ‘Use system settings’ option is specified By default. Now, select the ‘Dark’ option, and the dark theme will instantly be applied to the Notepad.
If you would like to change it to Light theme mode, select the ‘Light’ option under the “App theme” option. If the dark mode weren’t allowed for the entire system when you turned on the dark mode, it would be because ‘Light’ would be selected here. Select the Use system settings option to use the same theme Windows uses.
That’s it. It’s straightforward to allow a dark mode for Notepad in Windows 11. Now, there’s no need to strain your eyes while using Notepad at night.
