The Dark Side of Notepad++ : v8

2021-06-07

Why do developers prefer the dark theme?
Because the light attracts bugs.

The dark mode, one of the most demanded features, comes with Notepad++ v8.
From this version, Notepad++ can also run in any ARM64 device natively.
Notepad++ has a more modern look now thanks to Fluent UI icons on toolbar. The old standard icons are still kept and set as default.
