Arrow icon bug in dark mode
Mr Ghisler, I would like to report a small Ui bug in "Dark mode".
In "Show" menu, arrow icons are overlayed to that of light mode.
Example:

Thanks for the great software!

Unfortunately this cannot be avoided. The dark arrow images are drawn by Windows itself, the white ones are drawn by my code. There doesn't seem to be a way to avoid the dark ones.

Would it be possible to give the dark ones the same color as the menu background?

No, if I could change their color I would just tell Windows to use white for them (or light gray). But they are drawn the same as in normal mode.

So when Microsoft fixes that, we will have a clearly visible double arrow.ghisler(Author) wrote: ↑2022-07-19, 12:51 UTC No, if I could change their color I would just tell Windows to use white for them (or light gray). But they are drawn the same as in normal mode.

Re: Arrow icon bug in dark mode
can't you draw the white ones exactly over the black ones?
not a big issue, anyway. if you use dark theme and you have a dark backround, the black ones are almost invisible in normal use. to notice them you have to zoom in a screenshot.

Re: Arrow icon bug in dark mode
Actually the black ones are drawn AFTER the white ones! That's why the white ones are shifted to the left, so they don't get overdrawn by the black ones! In am owner-drawn menu item, Windows tells the program to draw the menu item and THEN draws this triangle on top. That's the whole problem, it would be easy to overdraw if windows would draw the triangle first...

Re: Arrow icon bug in dark mode
I'm not aware of a way to make this arrow owner drawn, or change the main menu to dark mode. If anyone has an idea, please let me know.
