will not be solved [TC 7.0 - 11.00b6] Theming of Menu in 32bit TC

[petermad]

This is a very old problem (since v. 7.0)

In 64bit TC when I deselect "Layout" -> "Windows XP theme background (menu+all bars)" then it looks as expected - showing the Menu with the same background as the Bars: https://tcmd.madsenworld.dk/menutheming64.png

If I use the same setting in 32bit TC, it is only the Bars that are not themed, the Menu is still themed: https://tcmd.madsenworld.dk/menutheming64.png

It is not that it is impossible to not show the Menu theme in 32bit TC - it is not shown in Dark Mode.

So is it possible to actually make TC do what the option says : "Windows XP theme background (menu+all bars)" in 32bit TC?

Total Commander 64-bit always uses an owner-drawn menu, that's why it supports the disabling of the theme. That's because the Lazarus framework draws the menu.
Total Commander 32-bit always lets Windows draw the menu bar, so it's not possible to turn off its theme. I'm sorry but it's currently not feasible to rewrite the entire menu functions for 32-bit.

OK.
