    Don't see right click menu in open/save dialogs while in contrast theme?


    In many programs I see a weird vertical bar with small triangles instead of right click menu. It works fine in default theme but with every contrast one it 's broken. I cant switch sortings or get rid of annoying file grouping.

    It works just fine in default theme but it hurts my eyes both aesthetically and by white backgrounds. So I use contrast ones.

    Do somebody know any trick to fix it?

    High Contrast Themes Issue

    Hi,

    Follow the steps below and check if that helps.

    Step 1: To Adjust Brightness

    • Take your mouse pointer to the right flank of the taskbar and hit the Notification icon.

    • Press Expand if the lower part of the Action center is shrunken.
    • The light icon under which percentage of the brightness at present is written avails you the platform from where you can control the brightness.
    • Clicking the Brightness icon either increase or decrease the brilliance of your system screen by 25%. Hence, you are pretty efficient to adjust the brightness on Windows 10 machine from this location.
    Step 2: To Adjust Brightness through Settings.


    • Take your mouse pointer to the
      Settings icon located at the lower part of the start menu.

    • Hit System.

    • Toggle the Brightness level slider to
      Adjust Brightness on Windows 10 Desktop.
    2. To Adjust Brightness and Contrast both from the same Platform

    1. Click Cortana search at the
    taskbar using the mouse.

    2. Write the text
    Calibrate display color
    in the Cortana search box and click the same on the Start Menu.

    3. On Display Color Calibration window, click
    Next button at the bottom to proceed further.

    4. A new window called
    Set basic color settings appears on the screen. Again Click Next button.

    5. Similarly, you get another windowHow to adjust gamma and click Next button to continue.

    6. Adjust gamma window prompts. Set the gamma color settings by sliding up or down (as you prefer) the gamma sliders. When you drag the slider upward brightness of your
    desktop enhances and when pull it downward brightness decreases. This is the center step to adjust brightness so perform carefully. Press
    Next button.

    7. Then you will see the Find the brightness and contrast controls for your display. Tap on
    Skip brightness and contrast adjustment if you want to avoid the adjustment of brightness and contrast.
