I made a nearly one-liner script that will change from light to dark mode. In dark, there no menu bar and in Light there is. I've been using it a long time - since yesterday. I use it as a Dark/Light mode Customized Toolbar Button (CTB) with the same icon instead of using the XY internal Dark mode button. Save your normal "Light " mode layout using the menu Window > Save layout as..." In my case I called the layout "Normal". When Don gets the menu dark obviously I'll scratch this. You could also have it as a Customized Keyboard Shortcut. Of course you could save a separate Dark mode "layout" instead that doesn't have the Main menu and switch between the two.
if(get("#316")) {#316;loadlayout("normal");}else {#316; if(get("#1061")){#1061;}}

EDIT: Perhaps a better way to cycle between Light and Dark mode (without the menu bar in Dark) especially if you don't use or want to use layouts would be this:
if(get("#316")){if(!get("#1061")){#1061;}#316;}else{#316; if(get("#1061")){#1061;}}

You can also have the right click of the same CTB bring up the Main Menu as a pop-up with: if(!get('#1061')){popupmainmenu;}

I kind of don't like that white line, you can't see it in the screenshot, so I drew it...

you can't see it in the screenshot, so I drew it...???

please explain

I mean the screenshot doesn't capture that white line, so I drew it. "Open image in new tab", that white line in the middle.

I opened your image and I clearly see the white line, but my similar configuration (dark with no menu) has no such line. Until Don gets back, you may want to experiment with the Configuration > Tabs > Visual styles and also Highlights and Dark Mode. He'd probably need to know some of those settings, like Borders (I have "no borders"), Windows Theme style (that's my setting), XYplorer Classic style, etc.

I don't get it. A screenshot is a screenshot.

Well, I see it in the CMD window. I reinstalled the system today because the right-click menu doesn't follow dark mode (a Bug in Windows 11) and then I saw that white line...
[SOLVED] Nvidia control panel -> Adjust desktop size and position -> Scaling mode -> Select full-screen and apply.

Hi Don, is it expected to have a dark CTB menu background when in normal Light mode? It actually looks pretty good, but I figured I'd ask.

Yes, this is how the MS gods decided. The menu colors are controlled by the Windows global "dark/light mode for apps" setting. All I can do is allow them to control the menu colors. If I don't then they will be light always. I decided to allow.

OK, sounds good, looks good.

Could anybody send me screenshot of the dark combo boxes in Win10 and Win11? I'm curious if they look the same as in my Win10:

I think Win11 is the same as new version of Win10, except UI and bugs.

I sent you a Windows 11 pic of the same Configuration box. The lower drop downs are nearly the same color as the box background until you drop down. Then they are dark like the 2 upper input boxes. I like yours better.

Norn: Looks okay to me, thanks.

klownboy: why is your upper box empty??? (why didn't you post it here in the forum, makes it difficult to discuss it)

You got me as to why mine are blank before I hit the drop down. I take it the first item in the drop down list should be there, but isn't. I changed my level of darkness from 20 to 10 from what I had sent you via email. You did say send it to me so I did that instead of posting.

EDIT: They are showing up now once I selected one. Could it be they weren't showing because I had never did a selection previously or should they show even for a brand new install?After making a selection...
