Dark Mode support is not complete

[Neustradamus]

Describe the bug

Dear @Open-Shell team, @ge0rdi,

There is a problem, I have Windows Dark mode enabled and I have the right Start Menu in blue:

• https://i.ibb.co/qR48yQL/openshell-start-menu-bad-color-at-right.png

Can you solve it?

Thanks in advance.

Area of issue

Start menu

To reproduce

Select "Start" > "Settings" > Select "Personalization" > "Colors" > Under Choose your color, select Dark.

Open "Open-Shell Menu Settings" > "Backup" > Select "Reset all settings" > "Yes" > "OK" to close the settings window.

Open the Start menu to see that there is always the specified problem.

Expected behavior

Look the screenshot, the blue part must be "Dark" like other parts.

Open-Shell version

4.4.191

Windows version

Windows 10 22H2

Additional context

No response

This is by design.
Default Immersive skin uses accent color you have set in Windows settings.

If you don't like that, you can use different skin.

@ge0rdi: Can you update the default skin to be perfect?

And add another skin like the current?

I might suggest that this could be an option under the Skin tab:

Transparency style:

• Two-tone
• Full Glass
• No accent

I might suggest that this could be an option under the Skin tab

Feel free to submit this concrete idea as an improvement.

Do you mean submit a pull request with the improvement or a post in the Discussion of the project?

Actually, there already is an option under the skin tab.
It is called "Reduce glass color".

If you are up to editing the skin file to make the grey menu darker,
The text in the skin is:

[DISABLE_MASK]
Main_bitmap_tint1=#545454
Main_bitmap_search_tint1=#545454
Main_bitmap_jump_tint1=#545454
Programs_background_tint1=#545454
Scrollbar_button_tint1=#545454
Scrollbar_thumb_tint1=#545454
Scrollbar_background_tint1=#545454

Making the Hex color values lower, will make the grey menu parts darker.

My bad.
I just realized if you leave the "Reduce glass color" disabled,
you can go to the "Menu Look tab",
enable "Override glass color" and set any color you want.

Good job bonzibudd

I find your modified screenshot a bit confusing.
I was thinking was that some type of Immersive modified skin?
After looking at it one more time, I guess the white parts are covering up personal text?

There is another thing you might want to try.
Forget everything from my previous comments,
and go back to doing it with your Windows 10 Personalization settings,
but add the important setting that is picking an Accent color.

Personally, I still like using Open Shell Override glass color, as I can make the color black.
