Windows 10: Taskbar right click on icons colour wrong

Had Windows 10 installed but gave to many problems with some games i play so decided to go back to Windows 8.1.

The problem i have is when i right click on a icon on the taskbar the popup box/menu colour is all wrong any idea how to fix this?

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).

 

Taskbar right-click menu colours

Hi Amatyr,

Thank you for responding.

I understand your concern about changing the background in Windows 10.

As you have tried with the settings and could not resolve the issue, I suggest you to try with the different user account to check if the current account is being corrupted or not.

Hope it helps. Kindly update the status of the issue, we will be happy to help you.
