Following some testing with Windows Insiders, Microsoft has started rolling out the improved dark mode in its Windows 10 Mail app (via The Verge). This inbox app has had a dark mode since the launch of Windows 10 four years ago, but until now the email preview pane always kept a white background, which made this dark mode pretty much unfinished.
This finally changes with the update rolling out this week, and you’ll notice that Microsoft has also added a “turn on/off the lights” button in the top bar to switch between a white and dark preview pane background at will.
Another neat new feature we’ve spotted in the Windows 10 Mail app is the ability to set a default font per account. You can find this new feature in Settings > Default Font, and checking it out will should also make you notice some persisting UI inconsistencies. Most in-app settings use a slide-out menu from the right, but others use a pop up windows with a white background, even though when you’re using the app with dark mode enabled.
