Dark-Notepad

    DarkNotepad is a recreation of Microsoft's Notepad in C#, and it also supports themes.
    This software was primarily meant to run on Microsoft's Windows 10 and was written in
    C# DOTNET 5.0 using the WinForms library.

Usage

    Just like a regular notepad, open the software and write or read whatever text file you want to.
    There is an option to modify the Text's font and the program's theme!
    You can also print your documents with a custom Header and Footer!

Stylizing

    As said before there is a Stylizing option: In the software click on Format -> Stylize...
    From there you can customize almost everything in Dark-Notepad, down to the Statusbar and Scrollbars!     There is even a Color Spectrum to choose your colors from!

Included Themes

    From Version 1.0.2 and onward Dark-Notepad will come with a few included themes, here are some of them:

Note before installing

    This software should work on any Windows 10 system with or without dotnet installed.
    Since this software was written in C# it might use higher RAM resources when compared to Microsoft's notepad.
    I do not take any responsibility for any kind of damage this software might cause with unintended or
    unresponsible uses.
