Microsoft Paint announced that the dark mode is rolling out to general users of Windows 11, according to media outlets.
“Assuming by stable you mean retail/non-Insider – it’s rolling out but not yet available to everyone yet so your VM isn’t being weird, just not lucky enough yet to get it,” said the Microsoft Senior Program Manager from the Windows Insider Program team.
It is worth highlighting that Microsoft Paint has been around since the days of Windows 1.0 in 1985.
Paint will default to your system settings when it comes to dark mode or light mode, but you can set the app to a specific mode that differs from the rest of your PC.
While Paint is surpassed by other creative apps in terms of power and technical capabilities, it has an enthusiastic following.
At one point, Microsoft was prepared to ditch the classic version of Paint in favor of a modern Paint 3D application. Following public backlash, Microsoft changed its decision.
