There are 2 new buttons on Microsoft Paint's status bar. The Redmond company says that it has improved access key and keyboard shortcuts in the app for accessibility, you can view them by pressing the Alt key on your keyboard. The Image Property dialog in the new version of the Paint app matches the Windows 11 design standards. You may choose between the light theme and the dark theme, or set the app to follow the system's settings automatically.

The Settings page only has one section for now, and it lets you set the theme. To enable the Dark Theme in Paint, head to the new Settings section in Paint by clicking on the button in the top right corner. The canvas is of course white, but it looks a lot brighter than usual when you enable dark mode in the app.

The menus in the app also support the dark theme, as do the brush and palette selection views. The Dark Mode makes it easier on the eyes to view the various tools that are available at the top of the image editor's interface. The new mode is not a pure black theme per se, it is sort of a high contrast theme similar to the one that File Explorer has. ADVERTISEMENT Microsoft Paint gets Dark Mode
