    File Explorer/Context Menus having some issues with dark theme


    As you can see in the image, parts of file explorer and context menus are still white, making things unreadable. I've tried updating, restarting, and toggling dark theme to no avail. I'm just forced to use light theme at the moment, which enables me to use my computer but is awful on the eyes since I generally work at night.


    Also, shadows are really weird too. It looks like my window borders are unusually thick, and there's no shadow. I noticed that a long time ago and just ignored it until now.


    I'm using a Surface Book 2 with latest update of build 1809.

  2. 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.

    Agitated with context menus

    I completely agree. This should be simple: dark for the dark theme and light for the light theme. Having all these different context menu styles just...isn't right. Edge's has one font size, then the taskbar and Start have another size. File explorer has
    a light theme, and most don't have a nice animation when they open like they do in Edge. It does drive me crazy.

  4. File Explorer/Context Menus having some issues with dark theme

    Custom context menu entries

    So, just throwing this out there, in case somone knows.

    I have added a custom context menu entry for the program rightload, since by default the menu is broken in vistax64.

    It works pefect with single files, but when I select mutiple files and try to open, I get mutiple instances of the program (which makes sense), here is my entry:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Rightload\Rightload.exe --server=1 --autostart %1

    So the %1 passes the filename to the program, and when I select multiple files it is just opening multiple instances of rightload each with a different file.

    What I'd like to do is be able to pass a list of the files selected to the program. Since I know it is capable of uploading multiple files from the context menu, all in one instance.

    So, is there something I can pass besides %1 that will do this? I have looked around and can't seem to find an answer anywhere... *Frown File Explorer/Context Menus having some issues with dark theme :(
