Ed - A tiny dark-mode editor for basic RTF files.
Dark mode for an RTF editor is not completely trivial to implement, but I decided to give it a try.
Notes:
- still experimental!
- minimal UI: no buttons, no menus, no distractions!
- very few features at the moment
- help file coming soon!
- works best on small (up to 2MB), simple RTF files.
- to open an RTF file, just drag it to the editor window
- to save, press Ctrl+S
Homepage and Download: http://www.radsix.com/rich/
If there is enough interest, source code (Windows only) will be cleaned up and released once the code is more mature.
Feedback welcome! I don't plan to add many features but do intend to fix major bugs.

Hi KCC, thanks for noticing. This is the correct link:

I will fix the link in the initial post too.

WooHoo! Full Justification FTW! I am rather fond of the dark mode text editor I currently use, but this is so clean and compact!
I will give it a really good test this weekend.

Glad you like it
Not sure if it can compete with more mature software, and I probably won't have much time to further improve it in the near future, but would still be very happy if you give it a try!
BTW is your other editor RTF capable? Would be happy to hear of other dark-mode RTF editors - I couldn't find any (for Windows, at least).
Re: Ed - A tiny dark-mode editor for basic RTF files.
Offhand, the only RTF editor I can think of with dark mode support is Focus Writer, but I do not like it.
Yours reminds me of the text editor I use on my Chromebook which is a good and simple editor. My main text editor for Windows is Text Edit Plus by Vovsoft and it is text only, well HTML, etc.
I could definitely use a dark mode RTF editor. Keep in mind I have NOT tried it yet, but given my eyesight, being able to change the font sizes is a must for me. Is that possible?
Will try and get it tested this weekend. I was in the middle of reinstalling all of my Windows systems and ended up getting sick. Grrr...

The on-screen text size (actually, the document zoom-level) can be controlled using Ctrl+Mousewheel.Kuron wrote: ↑Fri Nov 03, 2023 4:44 pm Offhand, the only RTF editor I can think of with dark mode support is Focus Writer, but I do not like it.

Setting the actual font size for selected text is not yet implemented, though.
