      Update:
      Actually the concept is already implemented.
      Out of curiosity I copied my Admin’s %APPDATA%\Notepad++\themes to %ProgramFiles%\Notepad++\themes and my normal user could see all themes.

      So 2 Issues with Themes and Dark Mode:

      • Installer does not put default themes in %ProgramFiles%\Notepad++\themes
      • Setting “Dark Mode > Enable dark mode” expects themes in %APPDATA% and if missing does not fall back to %ProgramFiles%.
        Workaround: Select Dark Mode theme manually

      I think we figured out the actual cause and related issues. Thanks to all.
      Let’s hope the N++ team can fix this in v8.2.

        Since it’s never worked that way in the past, that is a feature request, rather than a regression in v8.1. Don does check this thread for regressions, but to make sure they are noticed and tracked, feature requests should go in the official issues site on GitHub, as described in our FAQ

          Hi there,

          I am NP++ (Minimal Portable version) user since 2015, and use it as a simple text editor (instead of Windows Notepad).
          Everything was OK till version 8 and later!

          Why the latest version has lag on start! When I click on NP++ icon it starts too late (about 2 to 3 seconds), previous versions have no lag, were just like thunder! (I am on Windows 10 20H2 x64, SSD Hard, as always NP++ Minimal Portable latest version).

                  What your link points to isn’t what @Raheesh-Ramsy is asking about.

                  Short answer: You can’t. Notepad++ doesn’t handle images, only text.

                  BOTH: This thread is for discussion of problems with the 8.1 release of Notepad++. Please don’t ask questions or make comments unrelated to that in this thread – create a new discussion thread in that case.

                    @ten2120 Interesting. Do you use any custom plugins? Have you enabled the dark mode?
                    It would be interesting to see your debug info (Menu > ? > Debug Info)

                      And still no way to choose the obsolete icon. The app and file type icon is the only reason I’m sticking with 6.9.2.

                        And the award-winner for the dumbest reason ever to use an ancient version of a software program goes to…YOU.
                        Sorry, but that is really, really, really dumb.

                          @Alan-Kilborn The old version does everything I really NEED it to do, and I prefer to use a program that uses file-type icons that look like word documents, not some random green bullshit.

                            Then why come here to comment on it? Live on in your happy obsolescence. :-)

                            Seriously, though, aren’t there reasonable ways to get any icons you want using the OS instead of Notepad++ 's control?
                            If that aspect of the discussion is to be continued, respectfully request that you open a new discussion thread, as this one is sort of reserved for real 8.1 problems.

                              Themes are only installed to %APPDATA%\Notepad++\themes of the user who installed N++. Other users never get these (no themes at all in my case, see earlier post).
                              From my point of view this is a concept error. Default themes should be in %ProgramFiles%\Notepad++\themes and %APPDATA%\Notepad++\themes supersede these. I hope this would also fit the “settings in the cloud” approach.

                              This issue will be fixed in the next release:

                                The is a regresion with the Style Token feature (under right click). For instance: write “RECONCILE” and “UNRECONCILE”. Select RECONCILE and apply a Style Token color. Before it would hightlight both RECONCILE from both words, even on UNRECONCILE (not highlighting “UN” as expected).

                                  No regression – check your settings here:

                                    Thanks for the Helpful Suggestions. I think I figured out why it’s doing this, but I don’t know how to fix it. The app is installed on my OS drive, which is an SSD, but it seems Notepad++ is waiting for my other drives, which are regular HDD to spin up before it launches.
