Additional context

There is enough information above

[Abdelrhman-AK]

It is not relevant to the action of replacing Segoe UI. It is relevant to the application's UI. You can safely ignore this error.

If I work on version 1.0.9.1, I'll fix it for sure. Please keep this issue open.

[Abdelrhman-AK]

And please tell me if you're disabling transparency effect on Windows or using another theme (visual styles) for Windows.

[Andrew-Sor]

Well I'm using the MacOS theme and I didn't turn off the transparency effect

I don’t know, but I changed all sorts of settings and applied them several times, restarting WinPaletter itself. Today I only replaced Segoe UI and got this... And I believe that the system is working fine because in most places the font has reset (for example, in the headings it’s not even bold, although I set it up yesterday)

You can safely ignore this error.

Unfortunately, after that it gives the error again, but if you ignore it this time, it will close

[Abdelrhman-AK]

When I work on the next version, I'll fix it for sure.

~~Can you use both WinPaletter-DEBUG.exe with WinPaletter.pdb so that I can trace the issue. I can't reproduce it at all. Download both from releases if you don't have them.~~

I reproduced and fixed it. Please wait for a new update, which will likely be the final one for me as I won't have time after a few days.

[Andrew-Sor]

I thought about that too... But they also gave an error...

Excellent thank you! I'll be waiting

[Andrew-Sor]

By the way, the old version works

[Abdelrhman-AK]

There is something wrong I have fixed, it is in the tabs UI that wasn't implemented in older versions.

[Andrew-Sor]

old version

Using it, I was able to reset the Segoe UI replacement and the new version now works fine too

[Andrew-Sor]

By the way, I also wanted to ask about the menu animation not working

Or is it because I have Windows 11?

[Abdelrhman-AK]

That is because you have Windows 11. If you enabled classic context menu or used classic context menu in a Win32 app (for example: Registry Editor), you will notice the effect.

It's clear. Thanks, but I like the new design better

[Abdelrhman-AK]

I like the new design better

Absolutely! Feel free to personalize your Windows as you like.

[Andrew-Sor]

Thank you! Now everything works great!

[Abdelrhman-AK]

You're welcome!
