    Change "Modern" context menu


    Hi,
    as you might have noticed, windows 10 has 2 different looks for the context menu, the usual one you see rightclicking on files and most applications, and a new terribly horrifying and pointlessly spacetaking modern one which appears rightclicking on the taskbar, on edge webpages and somewhere else. These new ones have a TON of vertical spacing and padding, opposed to the more classic one which efficiently used screen space.
    Is there a way to resize the look of the modern one to make it look like the classic one, or is it hardcoded?
