11.02.22 Added: Dark mode: Option to configure border color (lines between controls) via Configuration - Options - Color

Post by *Paul Mountit »

the new dark theme looks almost perfect to me.
I'd really like to have an option to get rid of the white line between title bar and menu bar

Unfortunately it's drawn by Windows itself, I couldn't find a way to get rid of it. Maybe some handling of WM_NCPAINT or so? But then the presence and position of the line depend on the used theme, so I can't just overdraw it.

Is there perhaps a way to set it's color, and then hide it that way?

No, unfortunately not, it's drawn by Windows as part of the main menu, via the Windows theme.

Apologies for this, but how do you actually configure the border color? "Dark mode: Option to configure border color (lines between controls". I see no options in the Configuration/Display/Color dialogue.

Thanks a lot for this! I had overlooked the many options under "Others", assuming these were Lister options only! Lots of goodies to play with!

That is understandable - I think the first menu item should be a dead item saying "Choose" or "Select" and not "Lister".
