Redesigned Paint app for Windows 11 begins rolling out to Windows Insiders


  • Staff
Hello Windows Insiders, today we are beginning to roll out the redesigned Paint app for Windows 11 to all Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel.


The redesigned Paint app for Windows 11 is a modern spin on the classic app. You will notice a completely updated UI that matches the new visual design of Windows 11. Paint’s new design includes rounded corners, Mica, and more!

The most prominent change to Paint is the newly simplified toolbar with updated icon designs, a rounded color palette, and a new set of drop-down menus for tools such as brushes, stroke size, and flip/rotate controls.

The new drop-down menu for brushes features a dynamic icon that changes depending on which brush you have chosen.

Beyond updated icons and dropdown menus, we’ve included a new text tool for you to try. To access the tool, click on the “A” icon in the toolbar.

The new text tool lets you easily add text into your images.

Look out for future updates to the Paint app where we plan to address your feedback with improvements including dark theme, a centered canvas, and updated dialogs which have yet to be updated with the app’s new design.

Thanks,
Dave Grochocki, Principal Program Manager Lead – Windows Inbox Apps

got it figured out.

1) go to Microsoft Store - Generation Project (v1.2.3) [by @rgadguard & mkuba50]
2) search for Get Paint - Microsoft Store
3) find and download
Microsoft.Paint_11.2110.0.0_neutral___8wekyb3d8bbwe.Msixbundle and Microsoft.Paint_11.2110.0.0_neutral___8wekyb3d8bbwe.BlockMap
4) run powershell as admin and run command (adjust accordingly):
add-appxpackage -path "C:\users\owner\desktop\Microsoft.Paint_11.2110.0.0_neutral___8wekyb3d8bbwe.Msixbundle"

launch new paint app

this works on non insider builds of windows 11. have not tested on windows 10 yet. someone else can post back on that.

Unfortunately, the updated Paint is not available for Beta channel, I see in the Store only the infamous Paint 3D... Not a big problem for Beta insiders, you may say, they should be able to update it a bit later when current Dev build will become more stable and move to Beta. Maybe so, but the problem is, current Beta is almost (or exactly) the same as upcoming Windows 11 release, so if nothing will be changed on MS side, the users of release version will not be able to update their Paint app much longer than we Beta users. Sadly...
Thing is, when something is released to the DEV channel, it may, or may not, see the light of day. It depends on what the DEV channel denizens think about it and the feedback we send.

I like to live on the edge (not the browser though), so I opted for the DEV channel. However, on my teaching machine at the Senior Center, I have the current version of Windows 11. I'd hate to push "an alpha" version onto my students. :-)

It does work with a pen, just does not support pressure sensitivity features.

The main change obviously is that it stopped to be a Win32 application.

You don't see these apps in Control Panel -> Uninstall Programs.
Soon or later "Control Panel -> Uninstall Programs" will deleted.
