Select the "VSC2019-Dark" theme from the dropdown.Then from the menu, go to "Settings > Style Configurator".I found my themes folder at "C:\Users\MY_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\themes" If the "themes" folder is not in your NPP installation folder, you'll find it in the "Users\Appdata" folder.Download "VS2019-Dark.xml" from the repository linked above.The theme we're going to use is "VS2019-Dark-Npp" by user hellon8 on Github. Now Dark Mode is enabled! However, the editor area is unaffected, because it still requires a theme.


If you're like me, you may prefer the bright default look of Notepad++ (NPP), but still sometimes wish you had a Dark Mode option like Visual Studio Code (VSC.) Sure, you've long been able to customize NPP with themes, but themes only affect the editor and not the UI, leaving the top of the window distractingly bright.
