It is simply essential for everyone of us who uses the Windows Classic theme with Windows 10 or Windows 11!

This is because without it the context menus for us do not just appear wrongly, but simply invisible (have no text).

I see that you are still active on Github!

I think this program is much more important than the taskbar context menu tweaker!

Currently there are two main issues with this program:

  1. It does not affect the submenus if there are more than one
  2. It does not affect the open/save dialogs

I need to have a closer look at how Explorer.exe works in Win10 and Win11, it takes time and no eta, sorry for that. Meanwhile, you can try: https://github.com/rikka0w0/ExplorerContextMenuTweaker/issues/5#issuecomment-553963787

And the Win10 explorer menu allows some customization, but different methods are required: https://gist.github.com/rikka0w0/971e247871154427d5e62c7b3a7ac1d4

The above has been confirmed working in Win10 21H1 and Win11.

If this project ever starts again, maybe try making it a Windhawk mod. Windhawk makes it stupidly easy to hook functions in certain processes.
