[FIXED] Context menu for Custom Tags no longer shows colors
This changed sometime recently, is this a bug, or how can I get the color context menu back?
EDIT: I also confirmed this is happening now regardless of whether the Windows is in Dark Mode or Light Mode, and also regardless of whether XY is in Dark Mode or Light Mode.

I didn't fix it. I guess it was just a Windows hiccup.

Can only add, that it works with fresh;
For whatever reason, it looks like - by the empty-white-document XY is missing icons.

"It works" means what?
(A) The bug "works"/shows or
(B) XY works as it should (no bug)?

@autocart
Sorry, it means (B - no bug), the label color icons are correctly rendered.

This is still happening on 22.80.0104.
Also confirmed the colors display correctly with ::fresh.

Re: Context menu for Custom Tags no longer shows colors
I'm sure, but now you've had two people confirm it is somehow an issue, that also seems transient, as it's resolved itself then reappeared for me. I've reproduced this on two machines, while a third machine displays the context menu correctly, so there must be some combination of configuration and/or Windows settings that causes the menu item icons to fail to display.

Yes, I guess so. Let me know if you find that combination.

Re: Context menu for Custom Tags no longer shows colors
FOUND IT!
Took a couple hours of diffing a working xyplorer.ini vs a non-working one, finally found the culprit:
ShowMainMenu=0
Change this to ShowMainMenu=1 and the colors return.
I really like the main menu hidden, hopefully you can now reproduce and fix this.

Re: Context menu for Custom Tags no longer shows colors
Cause reproduced and confirmed!
Of course, I checked the new "Show menu" button but not it's persistent state.
Wow, good find!
