However, I'm overall happy with this new Dark Mode, and I'm sure they'll further refine it in future updates. Personally, I wish they had gone with a dark gray for the menu bar (or allowed us to pick the color ourselves) as I find the contrast to be a tad too high still. I loaded a sample HTML file in the screenshot below so you can see how faithful the styling is now!īy now though, you've probably noticed that, unfortunately, the Dark Mode has little to no affect on pop-up menus and the plugins. The only thing I changed was the Global Font Size, which I set for my reading comfort to 14. The Style Configurator also allows you to customize the theme and its presentation if you wish (and of course, you can edit the XML file directly.) However, I'm happy with the theme mostly as is.

Select the "VSC2019-Dark" theme from the dropdown.

Then from the menu, go to "Settings > Style Configurator".I found my themes folder at "C:\Users\MY_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\themes" If the "themes" folder is not in your NPP installation folder, you'll find it in the "Users\Appdata" folder.Download "VS2019-Dark.xml" from the repository linked above.The theme we're going to use is "VS2019-Dark-Npp" by user hellon8 on Github. Now Dark Mode is enabled! However, the editor area is unaffected, because it still requires a theme.

Close and Reopen program for it to take full effect.

Well, we're both in luck because this month NPP v8 was released, and among its new features is Dark Mode! If you haven't already upgraded to version 8, you can download it here if NPP doesn't update automatically. If you're like me, you may prefer the bright default look of Notepad++ (NPP), but still sometimes wish you had a Dark Mode option like Visual Studio Code (VSC.) Sure, you've long been able to customize NPP with themes, but themes only affect the editor and not the UI, leaving the top of the window distractingly bright.
