14 DAY TRIAL // Let’s admit it, dark modes are the new cool, and Microsoft knows it very well. This is the reason the software giant has already added a dark theme to Windows 10, and now the company is working around the clock on adding similar updates to its other software products out there.
The next in the queue to get a dark mode is none other than Microsoft Word, with Twitter user Florian B. already spotting such a visual style update that’s available for select insiders.
Microsoft itself has remained completely tight-lipped on this update, though judging from the screenshot posted on Twitter, the new dark mode would cover the entire UI of the app, with the font itself turning to white.
Worth emphasizing is that this feature would only be available for the desktop version of Microsoft Word, though eventually, Microsoft wants to bring the same visual style on all platforms for a little bit more consistency.
Dark modes in Windows
Microsoft is fully committed to keeping all of its products fully up-to-date, and these include not only desktop software but also mobile apps available on Android and iPhone.
Earlier this month, Microsoft was one of the first companies that announced a new version of Microsoft Office that would be specifically optimized for Apple Silicon, especially because M1-powered devices are already available for purchase.
Furthermore, Microsoft is also working on releasing an M1 flavor of Microsoft Edge, the company’s new browser that runs on the Chromium engine.
All in all, Microsoft has prepared a lot of updates lately, and this shows that after all, the Redmond-based giant remains the world’s number one software company. When exactly some of these updates are supposed to go live isn’t yet known, as Microsoft has remained tight-lipped on them.
