The reborn "Notepad" will be distributed on the preview version of Windows 11 -Compatible with dark themes [January 6, 2022 postscript]

　On December 7 (local time), Microsoft has announced the renewed "Notepad".First, it is rolled out to all Windows 11 users participating in the "Windows Insider Program" dev channel.

　The new "Notepad" app updates the menu bar and status bar according to the new visual design of "Windows 11".A mica (cloud mother) material effect that emphasizes a focus window is also adopted.The version is "11.2110.64.In 0, the current "10.2103.6.It seems to be a major update from "0".

　There are some old parts, but the updated search and replacement dialogs and the setting screen that can customize the theme and fonts are also given a fresh impression.

　The biggest feature of functions is that dark mode was supported.The standard respects the system's light -dark theme settings, but can also specify the theme by notepad.I am worried that the function of searching for the selection text by "bing" is not found, but it seems that the other can be used as it is.

　The new "Notepad" app will be provided as an automatic update via the "Store" app.If you wait for a while, you will be able to use it, but if you want to use it immediately, you can update it manually.

　The notepad released this time is still in the preview version, and there are some known issues.These will be improved in future updates, but be careful when using them.Also, if you find a new problem, please report it to the development team via the feedback HUB app.The problem of Japanese input may not be corrected forever because it is not recognized unless Japanese users feedback.

[Postscript of the editorial department on January 6, 2022] On January 5, 2022, it was announced that distribution to all users participating in Windows Insider Beta channels began.
