If you already have it installed, the update should happen automatically once Microsoft certifies the update, usually within the next day or two. This helps fund development and is an alternative or supplement to sending in a donation. Starting with Paint.NET v4.4, only Windows 10 and 11+ will be supported, and only on 64-bit (圆4 and ARM64). Updates for 4.3.x will be released on an as-needed basis until v4.4 is completed. It has become significantly more difficult and time consuming to support these lately, not very many people are using them, and I can no longer justify the cost and frustration of keeping support for these afloat. NOTE for Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and 32-bit/x86 users: Paint.NET v4.3.x will be the last release(s) that work on Windows 7, Windows 8.1, or on any 32-bit/x86 version of Windows.

The upcoming 4.4 update has had the code for "immersive dark mode" working for several months, and since it's proven to work and be stable, I thought this was a good opportunity to bring it over to 4.3.x so everyone can enjoy it much sooner Previously you'd either get a white titlebar, which just looks bad when Dark Theme is enabled, or you'd get the accent color defined in the Windows Color Settings (I like blue myself). This is a small update that enables dark themed title bars ("immersive dark mode"), and updates the built-in DDS and WebP plugins.
