So, how does Microsoft Word deal with dark mode? Very well, as long as you do not limit yourself to what the majority of guides will suggest you do, that is to use Office 365 dark mode. Dark mode has given me the best of both worlds: a more or less ‘normal’ looking setup, only with bigger fonts, less eye candy and, well, darker colors. Because of my deteriorating eyesight, I don’t have such a luxury: I can’t read dark text on bright/light colored background, be it on screen or on paper.īefore dark mode was a thing, I was using a high contrast accessibility theme-which is great but also way too radical for my specific needs. It’s no Doogie Howser mode aka ‘Blue background, White Text’ that was in early versions of Word.Some users consider dark mode a fad.
But that kind of thing is to be expected in a beta build. The current builds have some strange behaviors with shades of grey canvas backgrounds. Keep that in mind if you’re publishing to an onscreen format like a read-only Word document or PDF. The much darker background canvas alters the look of text colors.Īccording to Microsoft “… reds, blues, yellows, and other colors will be shifted slightly to mute the overall effect of the color palette and look more visually pleasing with the new dark background. Color adjustmentĬhanging the on-screen page background isn’t a simple as you might think. Changing the page background to another color (not shades of grey) still works on-screen. This all applies if the page background is white.
There’s clue that a label change is in the works. Should really be called something like ‘Disable dark page’. What it really does is disable the ‘Switch Modes’ button on the ribbon and leave the edit area with a white background. Choose Black or ‘Use System Setting’ (with Windows in Dark mode) to enable.ĭisable dark mode – is a strangely worded option.
