Post by damasd »

Hi there!

Am I the only one having this issue?

Hmm.. interesting.

I wonder what could cause this on my end. I'm not even sure if I ever had ESE display them correctly. I thought was a 1.5alpha issue but it continued to show up at every update.... :/
Do you have any idea on how to fix that? I'm afraid this is somehow saved into my settings and whenever I import them I import also the bug. I don't want to redo all from scratch manually! :(

Thanks for the reply

The popup menus use the system theme for all apps and cannot be changed by Everything.

Please adjust your system theme for all apps.

I did. Win11 is in dark mode and so all the apps. Both options are set to dark. That's why I came here.
Seems pretty odd because only those two menus are still light themed. The remaining ones are correctly dark themed. Also, you can notice how filters and bookmarks are listed horizontally to the right of the menu. ...???

Set Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> menu_items_per_column to:
0


Menu columns do not support the dark theme.

Amazing! Thanks a lot. Don't know why that was set to 1.
Thank you
