UIX Design

[Pablo Hernandez]

Could the NotePad++ have a design that’s at least a little similar to this?
I’ve been using it for years, but it’s been years as well since we’ve seen any improvements in the app’s appearance.
A visual makeover would be really nice.

Perhaps you want to put some effort into it and say what you like about the screenshot, and what you don’t like about Notepad++ 's current UI…

In Settings / Preferences you can

• In the General section hide the menu bar, hide the toolbar, and hide the tab bar.
• In the Dark Mode section switch to dark mode.

In Settings / Style Configurator

• Make the global background color black and enable global background color.
• Make the global font style Courier New and enable global font.

That will make Notepad++ look like your screen shot.

More tweaks are possible such as that you can turn the line numbers on the left edge off.
