Emacs for Windows with Dark Mode

This is a build of Emacs (from master branch) for Windows 10 (1809 and higher) and Windows 11 which follows Windows light/dark mode (titlebar and scollbars). See this pull request for a diff of only the relevant changes, exluding my build scripts and README.

Example with Windows Dark mode and Light mode:

Download

Download emacs-darkmode.zip from the latest release, extract to your machine, and launch bin/runemacs.exe. Or download emacs-darkmode-installer.exe if you prefer to install Emacs. Releases are 64-bit, built for Intel Skylake (6th gen) CPUs and newer.

If you have an older CPU, let me know and I can produce a build.

TODO

  • Dark titlebars
  • Dark scrollbars
  • Dark menu bar and/or menu items
  • Dark tool bar (tool bar colors can be customized via faces)
  • Dark tab bar mode (tab bar colors can be customized via faces)
  • Follow system light/dark mode. This is loaded from the Windows Registry when Emacs is launched.
