Notepad++ v8 update brings dark mode support and an ARM64 build

Notepad++ is inarguably one of the most popular source code editors for Windows. It offers various useful features, like tabbed editing, syntax highlighting, code folding, and more, making it the top choice for users worldwide. Despite its dated UI, Notepad++ has remained a fan favorite for the last several years. And with its latest update, it’s bound to attract even more users.

Notepad++ developer Don Ho has released v8 of the open-source software, and it brings a couple of noteworthy additions. For starters, the editor now features a native dark mode. It has a slightly more modern UI, thanks to the optional Fluent UI icons in the toolbar, a new distraction-free mode, and it now also runs on ARM64 Windows devices natively. Along with these new features, Notepad++ v8 brings a host of bug fixes and improvements. Check out the full changelog in the section below to learn more.
