Summary

KuroNote Logo

A text editor that allows you to set any picture you like as a background!

With a focus on customisability and intuitiveness, KuroNote is a Notepad-like text editor with personality. It's designed for the quick creation of beautiful notes. Custom theme profiles and optional gamification elements like ranks and achievements make note-writing more enjoyable. You can expect all the essential features like: save as; recent files; print; find; replace; spell check; word wrap; and word count. Additionally, KuroNote offers AES encryption which enables you to password-protect your notes, and a fullscreen mode which does what you think it does.

Version 2.1.0.0 introduces the exciting new RTF Mode option; KuroNote can now toggle between plain text and rich text procedures for: opening; saving; copying; pasting; and of course editing! RTF Mode provides the essential rich text customisation controls, so you can keep using KuroNote even when you need to open or create an ".rtf" file. Please note however that inserting images will likely remain absent from RTF Mode; KuroNote is still primarily a text editor.

Version 2.1.0.1 optimises and fixes a bug in Options, and makes RTF Mode font colour controls more intuitive.

New Features

RTF Mode

RTF Mode

Enable/disable RTF Mode (in Options > General) to toggle between plain text and rich text procedures for: opening; saving; copying; pasting; and of course editing! RTF Mode provides the essential rich text customisation controls, so you can keep using KuroNote even when you need to open or create an ".rtf" file. Please note however that inserting images will likely remain absent from RTF Mode; KuroNote is still primarily a text editor.

Recent Files

By default, KuroNote will now remember the last 10 files you opened and provide shortcuts to open them (in File > Open Recent). They are also colour-coded based on their extensions. You can clear this list whenever, or disable this functionality in Options > General.

Recent Files

Fullscreen

Fullscreen

Click the new "Enter Fullscreen" icon next to the options gear icon to toggle Fullscreen. Fullscreen is a self-explanatory immersive writing environment where you really get to appreciate your custom image backgrounds.

Changes

  • Updated branding globally!
  • Major preset themes overhaul - almost all of them have improved readability.
  • RGB values are now visible in custom theme manager.
  • Custom theme manager opacity slide preview now only updates after a tiny interval instead of every millisecond - improves performance.
  • New "UniformToFill" default image background scaling method preserves original aspect ratio by automatically changing zoom - no more distortion!
  • New "Stretch image backgrounds" disabled option added (in Options > Interface) that can toggle between the new "UniformToFill" and old "Stretch" image background scaling methods.
  • New "Auto word selection" disabled option added (in Options > Text) that enables/disables default "caret snaps to words" functionality.
  • New "Overtyping (insert key)" enabled option added (in Options > Text) that enables/disables default "Insert" (INS key) functionality.
  • Removed confusing "Remember Font Up/Down" and "Override theme font size" options. These have been condensed into a single new "Remember font size" enabled option (in Options > Text). Essentially the user's font size will now always be preserved, regardless of theme, if this is enabled.
  • Font dialog (Format > Font...) now recognises non-standard font sizes.
  • The dialogs for find, replace, AES encryption and AES decryption now have auto-focus. As soon as you open them, you can start typing without having to click in a box.
  • Removed 3 themes: "Spotless Snow", "Bold Gold" and "Sparkly Pink".
  • Added 7 new themes: "Immerse", "Deep Red", "Geometric", "Cotton Cloudy", "Holographic", "PCB" and "Tight-knit".
  • Added 5 new achievements.

System Requirements

  • Windows 10/11 (64bit)
  • .NET Core Runtime 3.1 (Desktop) - if missing, you will simply be instructed to download this during installation.
