With the PowerToys version 0.27, Microsoft adds installer improvements including Dark Mode, and fixed a bunch of accessibility issues.

 

Microsoft finished working on the Color Picker and the Image Resizer UI. The latest build will include a more fluent design and WinUI like rounded corners for the Color Picker and Image Resizer windows.

 

As part of this update, Microsoft also improved the multi-monitor editor experience for Fancy Zones, and also added the ability to have no layout.

 

If you are looking for the PowerToys setup, you can download the latest version of the PowerToys from GitHub. As it comes as an Open-Source library, you can also download the source code.
