Windows 10: Changing menu window colors

Hi,


I was wondering if there is a possibility to change the colors of the windows menus for example the menu of the right mouse button and mainly the color of a certain selected option. I am on Windows 10.


I saw a similar topic from 2015 but it doesn't work for me.


The solution that was given was Control Panel -> Appearance and Personalization ->Customize colors.


From what I see, I don't have the Customize colors option.




Is there any way to fix this? I tried changing theme and restarting but all regarding the menus remains the same.


Many thanks in advance! :
