Right click menu in windows dark mode looks like shit and I can't figure out why it changes (NEED DESPERATE HELP)

from Stardock Forums

So recently I found out about windows dark mode and I think it looks far superior in almost every way, but there's some weird error that happens when I have start10 running, in which the right clicking menu looks like absolute shite only when windows dark mode is enabled. 

 

Dark Mode enabled V

Light mode enabled V

 

Any way to fix this???? I've tried everything

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. But, I can't really recreate your issue on my system. Sure, the font change a bit between dark and light, but not as different as yours.

Looking at it again, it look like you're comparing on two different monitors and different resolutions. Looking at the wallpaper, it appeared that the light is on higher resolution monitor and with scaling applied? If you did, please make another set and comparing dark and light on the same monitor and same scaling.

Thanks

No it was on the same monitor. I only have one monitor. If you look at the images again, see the two white dots right to the right of the start menu, they line up exactly with each other. I just cropped it different sizes.

The exact issue is that only right clicking the start10 start menu has a change in font, color and scaling. All other places I can right click are behaving normally.

I even did a full reinstall of Start10 so I don't know what the cause could be. Thanks for trying though, I appreciate it lol

Have you made any other changes between your dark mode image and the light mode one and are you simply picking the option from the OS settings screen (with nothing else involved?)

Also do you have anything else installed which may have given you dark menus?

I ask as a dark menu is not normal when in light mode which suggests you may have altered something else?
