    I am using the latest version of Windows 11 with the February updates.

    I have always enabled "dark mode systemwide" in Windows 10 and 11. But this is the first time that I noticed that Notepad is in dark mode. Yay!

    However, Wordpad is not.

    How do I enable dark mode for Wordpad?

    Notepad was reworked to include dark mode. AFAIK, Wordpad is still a legacy application and doesn't support dark mode yet.

    Good for you. I enabled dark mode systemwide for more than a year. It's only now that my notepad changes to dark mode.
