We’ll show you how to enable dark mode in OneNote on your desktop, Windows 10, Mac, and mobile devices. In some cases, you must be using dark mode on your device to apply it to OneNote.
Dark Mode in OneNote Desktop
You can enable dark mode for the desktop version of OneNote on Windows easily. Just note that this setting will apply to all of your Microsoft Office applications.
If you’re working with a different Office application at the time, you can follow the same steps to make the change there. Then, when you open OneNote, the black theme will apply.
Dark Mode in OneNote for Windows 10
If you use OneNote for Windows 10, enabling dark mode is just a few clicks.
Dark Mode in OneNote on Mac
The dark mode feature for OneNote on Mac coincides with your macOS setting. So if you use Auto to automatically switch to dark based on the time of day or turn it on manually, OneNote will comply. Go to System Preferences> General to enable Dark or Auto.
What’s interesting about the dark mode option for OneNote on Mac is that it’s enabled by default. But you do have the option to turn it off. This allows you to use OneNote in regular mode, no matter what your Mac is using.
Maybe you’re in the opposite situation. You want to use dark mode in OneNote, and it’s not on when your Mac uses dark mode. Head to the above spot and be sure to uncheck the box in Step 3.
Dark Mode in OneNote on Mobile
OneNote on Android, iPhone, and iPad follows the same rule as it does on Mac. The application will use dark mode when your device is using it.
On Android
To enable dark mode on your Android device, tap Settings at the top and choose Theme. Select Dark at the top. For older versions of Android, tap Settings and choose Display. Expand Advanced and pick Device theme. Select Dark.
On iPhone and iPad
To enable dark mode on iPhone and iPad, open Settings and choose Display & Brightness. Select Dark at the top.
