Microsoft has always been concerned with cross-platform compatibility, and nowhere is this more crucial than in the Office suite. According to a new leak, some of the Office apps available on the Play Store will soon respect the dark mode setting of the entire Android system and adjust their interfaces accordingly.
Italian developer and pourer Alessandro Paluzzi showed screenshots of the applications (presumably beta) with dark backgrounds and a user-accessible configuration for the light, dark and standard modes of the system. Notably, the background of the Word text still shows a blank page, although Paluzzi says this is 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 application, but supposedly PowerPoint and Excel will also be compatible with dark mode. When we’ll see these updates is on the air, although Microsoft improves its Office applications regularly. It should, since they are not cheap.
