    Consolidate context menu styles

    The style for context menus need to be consolidated. There are current three different styles:

    • Right-click on an empty region of the taskbar: you will get a black context menu with a light border and no icons, which fades in and out.
    • Right-click on a taskbar app button: you will get a black context menu without border but with monotone icons, which slides in and out from the bottom.
    • Right-click on the desktop and most other places: you will get a bright-grey context menu with coloured icons, which fades in and out.

    Like I said, there is no need to maintain three different styles for a visual element that is the result of three identical user interactions, only in different places. These three styles come with a virgin installation of Windows 10, which can make it confusing
    to new and upgraded users why the colour and such is suddenly different for essentially the same 'thing'.

    To reiterate, differences in:

    • Background colour
    • Text colour
    • Border style
    • Hide- and show animation
    • Coloured icons, monotone icons, or no icons

    Why not make these the same for every context menu? It's easier to maintain (for Microsoft devs) and easier on the user experience (for your valued customers).

  4. How can I enable context menu with the win10 style in windows 11?

    Windows 11 context Menu Desktop right Click

    Hi, the link that you have sent to me will restore the context menu of win10.

    even if i follow the steps(HOW TO ADD AND CUSTOMIZE THE RIGHT-CLICK MENU) without executing the step of restoring win10 context menu, the notePad will be displayed in the group Show more options.

    In my case i want to keep the context menu of win11, just i want to add items to the menu not in the group Show more options.

    thanks!
