    Can Someone Confirm That My Context Menu Is Fubared In Dark Mode?


    Starting with build 17735.1000 and continuing through build 17763.1, when I am in Dark Mode the Right Click Context Menu is almost Unreadable. Is this the way it is supposed to be? Light Mode seems to be OK. I have summited Feedback to MS.

    Edit: Interestingly enough this seems to be a User Profile issue. I switched to another user and while in Dark Mode the Right Click Context Menu displays properly.

    Ok...

    Just fixed mine, but don't know why it worked.

    I have 2 profiles on there. The other profile worked fine with dark theme, but mine didn't. So I created a new profile without configuring it, logged off, logged back into my original profile, saved a new version of my theme without changes, then reapplied the dark theme and now it works as it should!

    Makes no sense whatsoever . . . But it is a bug. Hope they address it.

    Update 10-01-2018

    @BlackScout has found a workaround for some of the Dark mode issues that I have faced. You can see his post here.

    At first I thought these issues were caused by something corrupt in my User profile. Now I think that these Dark mode issues are a Windows Themes issue. It appeared to be a User profile issue to me because the User that I switched to was using one of the Windows default Themes.

    For me only the Default Windows Themes allow Dark mode to function as intended. If I use any previous saved Themepack (both areo and areolite) to install a Theme then it breaks Dark mode functionality. I have updated my Feedback to MS.

    Yes, this was driving me insane - I tried to make changes in the "personalize" window to no avail. Then, a bright idea popped inside my geek brain....I went to MicrosoftStore picked a Theme, applied it and...boooom! Problems solved by problem solver! So, yes tracit99, themes from authors other than Microsoft will give this problem with the context menu readability. And, no need to go complicated and create a new account - like someone reported in this thread. Hope this helps. Cheers! :)
