Hello Windows Insiders, today we are beginning to roll out an update to the Paint app for Windows 11 to Windows Insiders in the Canary and Dev Channels (version 11.2304.17.0). This update includes a good set of changes and improvements we think the community will enjoy! With this update, we are introducing support for dark mode in Paint. By default, Paint will adapt to your system theme preferences, but you can change this option yourself on the brand-new settings page. [caption id="attachment_176319" align="alignnone" width="724"]

The classic presets are still available, but you can now also zoom in and out with finer granularity increments on the zoom slider or set a custom zoom value for even greater precision. We are also introducing a new fit to screen option to quickly optimize zoom to match your window size. [caption id="attachment_176320" align="alignnone" width="457"]
