Microsoft has started rolling out the new and wholly redesigned Notepad for Windows 11 to all Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel.

"First, you will notice a completely updated UI that aligns with the new visual design of Windows 11, including rounded corners, Mica, and more," said today Dave Grochocki, Microsoft's Principal Program Manager Lead for Windows Inbox Apps.

"Productivity, performance, and reliability are paramount in Notepad. Regardless of how you incorporate Notepad into your workflows, we will ensure that Notepad continues to excel in those areas."

While Notepad will match the current OS-wide theme preferences, you can manually switch to the new dark mode from the app's Settings page.

Microsoft is also continuing to increase performance when opening very large files with the new Notepad app.

Those who want to provide feedback on the redesigned Notepad experience can share their opinions through the Feedback Hub.
