Native Windows 10 Open File Dialog

Jason Cee

Hey,

I want to request that in the future notepad++ uses the Windows 10 native open file dialog, which supports dark mode, searching, etc. as shown in the below screenshots.

Many other apps open the native one that supports dark mode, such as paint.net, foxit reader, peazip, etc.

Before:

After:

This would really make my favorite text editor so much better, I don’t want to have to look at white boxes anymore if at all possible.

Thank you for your consideration!

now, if you just want to use the windows 10 native open and save dialogue in dark mode,
go to settings > preferences > default directory and enable use new style dialog.
to get results as seen at the screenshots below:
