Menus stuck in dark mode

In the latest release (22.80), my menus are stuck in dark mode while I have the rest of XYplorer set to use light mode. I am assuming this is because it is honoring my Windows settings (which I have set to dark mode) instead of the application-specific settings. Is there a setting I am missing in the configuration somewhere?

As long as you're in Windows dark mode that's the way it is. Please refer to this post
viewtopic.php?p=195631#p195631 where I asked the same thing.

In the next version you can stop this:
Code: Select all
+ Admin Settings: Added a way to prevent dark menus in XYplorer when Windows is in
Dark Mode.
eAP_IgnoreDarkWindows = 16384
In the "Admin.ini" file (located where "XYplorer.exe" is) add the following (or add
that value to the value that's already there):
[Settings]
Profile=16384
(For technical reasons this cannot be done via Configuration or even via tweak in the INI-file; it's too deep.)

I "need" the opposite switch.
I know, I know ...

This worked, thank you! (I had to create the Admin.ini file from scratch, as it was not there already.)

Yep, you did the right thing.
