Windows 11 Dark Mode
jwatsonx > 2022-03-08 13:05
Hi,
I've been a QAP user for awhile now. Recently I thought I might look into changing the look of my menus but I just can't seem to get dark mode working properly. My system is set to use dark mode for Windows and apps, I have selected the 2 options in Quick Access popup "Dark mode support for the menus (beta), and also "Dark mode support for Customize windows (beta) and both of those use Dark mode however the main Popup menu still uses the drab, ugly Windows gray color.
Any help would be much appreciated!
(I was never able to get it to work when still on Windows 10 either before upgrading)

Hi John,
There was a thread recently about Dark Mode. See https://forum.quickaccesspopup.com/showt...=dark+mode
I don't run it so I can't help more than this.
Best Regards, Dale -

Hi jwatsonx,
I'll let you review the thread about dark mode pointed by Dale. AFAIK, dark mode works the same in Win 10 and 11.
You can ask questions in that thread.

Thanks, yep I looked through that particular post before asking but no luck. The other options are all dark mode but the main popup menu I get when clicking my middle mouse button is still gray like an old Windows menu. -

I could check your quickaccesspopup.ini file. Would you send it at support@quickaccesspopup.ini (at least the [Global] section). -

I will send it to you now. Sending it to support@quickaccesspopup.com, assuming above is address a typo "support@quickaccesspopup.ini". -

Thanks for sending me your ini [Global] section. Everything is fine with this. But the screen capture you attached shows that your main menu includes a column break. Unfortunately, this is a known issue with Windows menu in dark mode. I edited the page about dark mode to put more emphasis on this issue.
To have this menu dark, you would have to rework it without a column break. -

Looks like that did it! Looks so much better now! Is that something that you expect to resolve in the future? I can probably live without it but I liked having the column break to make the overall menu height smaller. Thanks again! -

QAP is using Windows commands to build its menus and this issue is in Windows. QAP can't avoid it. We can hope that some solution will come in the future but there is actually very little info available about this issue.
