Microsoft was too late in complying with platforms, and nowhere is that more important than in the Office suite. According to a new leak, some of the Office apps available in the Play Store will soon respect Android’s system-wide dark mode setting and adjust their interfaces accordingly.
Italian developer and leak Alessandro Paluzzi showed screenshots of the (presumably beta) programs with dark backgrounds and a setting for the user that is accessible for light, dark and system modes. The text background for Word still shows a white page, though Paluzzi says it’s subject to change. Previously, OneDrive, Edge, Outlook, OneNote, and Remote Desktop were all updated with this feature.

The leaked screenshots are from Word and the Office Hub app, but PowerPoint and Excel apparently also have dark mode compatibility. However, when we see that these updates are in the air, Microsoft improves its Office programs on a very regular basis. It should, since it is not cheap.
