How to enable dark mode for 64-bit context menu?

Hi all,

I'm not sure if it is a bug or if there is a setting I missed, but does anyone know how to get dark mode to apply to the 64-bit context menu? It is always blinding white for me, and would love to have it match the rest of my system, but I can't find a way to change it.

Alternatively, since I would only use the 64-bit context menu to access PowerToys features (specifically PowerRename and Image Resizer), is there a way to add PowerToys functions to the context menus within XYplorer, bypassing the 64-bit context menu altogether?

This is the only niggling issue keeping me from switching completely from windows explorer. Thanks for your help!

Switch to the x64 version of XY.
Using a Dark Windows theme and XY in Dark mode
all context menus are in dark,
including the Powertoys entries, of course

Thanks for your reply.

I'm using the latest version 27.10.0200, how do I change the version to 64-bit? The latest version available for download is the 32-bit version; or is it intended to be only the next major release that 64-bit?

Please disregard, I found the beta download, and upgrading has solved my issue. Thanks! Can't wait for the final release!
