Microsoft tests the new "Dark Mode" in Word and a button to toggle it with the blank interface

Dark mode is becoming more and more popular among the different applications and operating systems that we use on a daily basis. And Microsoft was not going to be an exception, so it offers the dark tones not only in its operating system, but can also be used in different applications.

One of them, Microsoft Word, is receiving a renewed Dark Mode that all those who are part of the Office Insider program can already try . Word already has a dark mode, but unlike the existing one, the new mode offers a dark-toned look that isn't limited to just one part of the app.

In black or white

"

An announcement made on the Office blog where Microsoft explains that the new Dark Mode>tested by all Dev Channel users running version 2012 ( build 13518.10000)."

This revamped design gives a dark look that isn't just limited to the top bar. The entire screen now looks the same in black tones, so it does not result in annoying contrast when working in low light environments.

With the new mode, the entire interface changes to shades of black, such as what now looks like white or gray. Also, the red, blue, yellow and other colors will be changed to match the new dark background. And if at a certain moment we want to change the color, a new button is added to change the theme of the page with a single click.

"

To activate the new Dark Mode, if you are part of the development channel, you must enter the path File, Account, Theme Office>"

"

However, if you prefer to use the white background, you can activate it in the path File, Options, General>"

While this is an enhancement only available to Dev Channel users for now, it shouldn't take too long to reach other users.
