Windows Insidersare currently testing OneNote in dark mode. Redditor Grindiot shared a glimpse of the test feature. Microsoft kept the same color scheme as it used forFile Explorerand theMicrosoft Office Suite.

OneNote users can easily switch between dark and light modes using a built-in toggle button. Moreover, the same feature is also available in the settings app. Many Reddit users also noticed that the color of their pens turned darker.

The feature is not yet available to all users

As mentioned above, Microsoft rolled out theupdateto a small group ofWindows Insiders. You can check forupdatesthrough Microsoft Store.

Unfortunately, theupdatemayfail to installfor some users.

Opted intoInsiderlast night. Woke up, still nothing. Checked for windows update. Just a windows defender update, nothing more. Restarted my computer. Still nothing. Toggling “dark theme” and “high contrast mode” does nothing. Checked version number: “Version 16001.11601.20066.0”. Uninstalled and reinstalled OneNote. Version now says “Version 16001.11629.20028.0”, but the the “insider” checkbox is now unchecked. I hope that doesn’t put me in the bottom of the queue. Checked the box and will continue to restart, check forupdates.

The criteria by which Microsoft decides to distribute Insider updates to selective people remain unknown. If you’re not anInsider, all you can do is wait until Microsoft releases theupdateto all users in the coming weeks.
