Context menu doesn't follow correct theme

Post by Coldblackice »

Despite enabling Windows 10 "dark mode", Everything's implementation of the context menu continues to use the light theme. Is there a way to fix/change this?

What version of Everything?

1.5 alpha has a "dark" theme.
(Not sure of its status, but possible it is still a work in progress ?, though even if that, should be mostly there.
[It's context menu looks to use, I suppose it is, Windows theme - at present.])

Thank you for the bug report.

It's a bug with the current Everything 1.5 alpha.

Everything 1.5 alpha will currently keep the same style from the first shown popup menu.

For example:
If you right click the tray icon first, the popup menu will be White and all future popups will be White.
If you right click in the result list first, the popup menu will be Black and all future popups will be Black.

It's on my TODO list to fix.

For now, please try the following:
In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
/restart
---Everything will restart---
Open a new Everything search window and right click a file (the context menu should now be Black).

I have a Dark Theme in Everything but the context menu is always black on white
even after a /restart.

The window frame must be in dark mode for the popup window to also be dark mode.

(It looks like the frame is in light mode?)

I have on my TODO list to drawn my own dark themed popup menus.
