Windows 10: explorer address bar & explorer context menus fail to use dark theme

i can override the colors using the high contrast settings interface, but i would like to use the default dark theme over this.

Dark Theme for File Explorer.

I waited exactly 9 years since Windows 7 released for Dark Theme to be used on the File Explorer and i feel hyped about Dark Theme can be used when you update your windows to version 1803 few weeks ago when i read it on article. My friend already got
their File Explorer themed black, and i already updated it to version 1803 as they say it will works. But why my file explorer theme is still white even though its on version 1803 and already changed the theme to dark? Thank you.

 

File explorer dark theme not applying properly

Since the implementation of Dark theme, I've been a bizarre white tool bar, it originates from the white theme but apparently it doesn't change when I apply the dark theme.
You can see what I mean here.

An interesting remark I have to make is that when launching File Explorer shortly after signing in from a reboot, the File Explorer dark theme is applied correctly.

I have tried from uninstalling applications to testing in safe mode, and even that was futile, as the behaviour was the same.

I'm at the end of my rope, your help would be appreciated.

Note: The dark theme is also applied properly when launching file explorer through shell.

 

Context tree with address bar [explorer]

Hi, ability to switch any parent folder to other one ,at the address bar, was a great ergonomics enchancement, and it would be awesome to move further and make it a context tree (as one at taskbar toolbars, that unfolds folders on focus), maybe without non-folder
items (better with ) and that will open folders in a same window that it was called from. (1 of the points is an easier reusing of explorer windows)





The context tree is an exceptional ergonomics improvement, since it let to manipulate folders/files about 50% faster, and easier to view, than a full explorer window, and it would do a great help also at the address bar.
