Customization :: Context Menus Not The Same - 2 Computers
Nov 20, 2015I have 2 different Windows 10 machines...
1. A clean install of Windows 10.
2. An upgrade from Windows 7.
The right-click context menus are very different on each. I have imported the same themes and tried to match as many of the tweaks on the 2 machines.
For starters I have disabled Segoe UI completely, and replaced it with Arial. Also, Font Smoothing and Cleartype are completely disabled.
For the clean 10 machine, I get clean white context menus, both on the desktop and taskbar... no blurring.
For the 10 machine upgraded from 7, I get a gray blurry context menu, and a dark gray one on the taskbar.

Transparent Edges To Some Context Menus
Jul 30, 2015So, Windows 10. So far so good. There's just one small problem.
For starters, the background colour to these tooltips doesn't change when I change the colour in the Personalisation menu. But that's more of a secondary issue.
The primary problem is that weird transparent edge around the tooltip. When I first installed, I had something similar around the start menu. A restart fixed that problem. Now I experience these transparent edges around those tooltips and also at the edge of the notifications sidebar.
I never used a transparency workaround when I was running Windows 8.1, and that's about the only thing I can think of.
White Background When Loading Context Menus
Mar 25, 2016I've recently upgraded to Windows 10 and noticed that sometmes when I click with the right button on desktop or somewhere else, a white background appears for a split second before the menu loads. It actually happens frequently.
I recorded the problem. Watch in 0.25x or 0.5x playback to see it clearly: [URL] ....
Sometimes it loads just fine, sometimes not.
My graphics card is GeForce GTX 650 Ti. I've tried to reinstall drivers, but it didn't solve the problem.

Customization :: Black Context Menu For Taskbar And Old Context Menu For Desktop
Dec 15, 2015Today I got an update, and I noticed afterwards that the Windows 10 context menu when you right click the desktop went back to the old version and not the Windows 10 version. Also, the context menu for right clicking in the taskbar turned black in the background. Not sure what changed and how to make things the way I remember.
View 4 RepliesWindows Menus Don't Open
Aug 1, 2015Not sure where to post this, but none of the menu options open. The New Notification panel on the bottom right hand side doesn't open, and neither does the start menu in the bottom left hand side.
I am on an acer aspire laptop, and the brightness setting doesn't adjust anymore either.
I'm playing with the other icons in the bottom left hand corner, and none of them open up or do anything. Wireless icon, sound icon, one drive icon, or the notification icon. Searching the web and windows/Cortana does not do anything either. It doesn't even allow me to type anything.
I have tried restarting (which had to be done through the windows key + x shortcut) and shutting down/waiting/starting up again and neither have worked.
Selecting Areas And Menus Using Mousepad
Oct 2, 2015Since installing Windows 10, I am having a lot of trouble clicking on areas and loading menu options using my mousepad. For example;
- When I go into the start menu, if I go to click on the Power option, it will not load the menu where I can choose to restart, shut down, etc. The menu will flash up for not even half a second and disappear.
- Another example: when signing up for an account on this website, I was prompted to select a photo from a group of photos for validity but when I clicked on a photo it would not acknowledge this. I was also unable to use the mousepad to click on the tick option to confirm I agree to the terms and conditions etc.The mousepad worked fine before I updated to Windows 10.
Customization :: Any Way To Change Fonts Of Menus
Sep 24, 2015on previous releases of Windows you could select Fonts for Window titles, menus , toolbars etc.
On two of my monitors the current fonts just look HIDEOUS and there's no way to change them -- worked fine on Windows 7.
This is going to cause BIG problems for some people if we upgrade to W10. They are using laptops - then it's fine if not using an external monitor but when plugged into decent monitors via HDMI is when the problem starts. Applications are fine but the menus / titlebars etc are almost unreadable !!!!!
For instance -- no problem typing this post on to the Forum but looking at the http address or the menu line of the browser is HIDEOUS.
Using latest INTEL HD graphics drivers.
At least on XP --->W8 you could st the individual fonts for system items such as titlebars etc.
I'm running W10 x-64 pro build 10240 (RTM).
This is a BIG showstopper.
Note it's for the WINDOWS SYSTEM stuff I need to change the fonts for -- in things like Word you can change as desired in the APPLICATION area but not the Menu area etc.
For example -- File explorer list --hideously unreadable !!!! However uploading to png you can't see how bad it is !!! but it IS unreadable on the monitor.

Aug 27, 2015So, I upgraded to Windows 10 last month, but I've just noticed this minor but somewhat annoying issue with the File Explorer. It isn't immediately noticeable as the Ribbon largely supplanted it, but on certain Explorer windows such as in the legacy Control Panel, I end up with this:
Tried uninstalling my custom themes and other hacks to no avail, and now I'm at a loss at this. As what I've said before, this is a minor, non-crticial issue, but still it irks me for a bit.
All Menus Could Not Be Changed To English During Install
Mar 15, 2016I installed a JP version of windows 10 but then bought an English version and installed that after finding all the menus could not be changed to English during the install. My question is does the English version overwrite the JP version or are files left on the SSD using up space? Also in the end I returned the English version cause I found you can add a language pack to the JP version. The problem with this is that if you get a blue screen the windows messages are in Japanese. So now unless I can change this I'm going to go back to an English version of windows 10.

View 1 RepliesHow To Change Fonts For Title Bar / Menus / Popups
Feb 10, 2016With Windows 7 it was possible to change the fonts used by Windows for title bar, menus, popups, etc...
This way I could get rid of "anti-aliased" fonts such as Segoe UI that are blurry and use "aliased" fonts such as Tahoma that are sharper and much more readable for me.
That and disabling ClearType give me the right fonts display configuration.But I cannot find this fonts configuration dialog in Windows 10.
Where can I find this dialog for Windows 10 (french snapshot):
Customization :: Colour Swap On Desktop Menus
Sep 25, 2015Been playing with registry entries for a few days and I cannot seem to get the setup I want running. I will Pic appropriately to illustrate:
Basically, I want to move away from the Light, and into the Dark Theme, Keeping my Teal Colour scheme (looks win95/98, retro~) but the Dark themes apply only to the metro styling. I want Desktop Styling also, the Title Bars from White to Black (or more specifically the Dark theme RGB of 31,31,31):
applied to Title Bars of Desktop:
And of course the Active Window Titles from black to white (to show on the black title bars).
But I also want the Dark Menus:
Metro Dark theme Menu:
Applied to Desktop White Menu:
Photoshopped pic (OK MSPainted) to show what I mean:
(doesn't even need the 'Share + View' part, just the title will make me happy, looks nicer tho )
Hopefully I can get this working and list up all the useless preinstalled apps (to remove them from build), I can apply it to and build my own Win10 ISOs so I can clean-install my Desktop, Laptop and Tablet!

Menus After Refresh Messed Up - Can See Tabs On Top Are Not Flat
Sep 25, 2015Since doing a refresh of Windows 10 some of my menus or whatever are messed up. It is hard to explain and I searched but since I don't know what it is called I will post a screenshot.
As you can see the tabs on the top are not flat and look like they did from Windows 2000. I can't seem to get them flat. I tried changing themes and I even created a new profile but they are still messed up.
Performance :: Scrolling Through Selection And Drop Down Menus Pop Up When Clicked On
Feb 10, 2016Ever since I installed 10, I have major issues with scrolling through selection menus and drop down menus pop up when clicked on but immediately disappear. Also on start up, the page that is supposed to roll up to access your login screen won't roll up on it's own...I have to hit f11 to get it to go up.. It is not only in web-based windows on the scroll problem either...it happens in the start menu as well and sometimes there is no response when something is clicked on.

View 2 RepliesMissing Menus / Blank Screens / Apps Don't Work
Nov 8, 2015I just downloaded Windows 10 and am having issues with: missing pop-up menus; "Edge" & "Store" apps don't run (open with plain blue screens); I can't access Settings (same problem--I get only a plain blue screen); also Word 7 is buggy (i.e. the minimize button is missing when I have a doc open). From reading other threads here, I decided I should run a System File Check in Windows, but when I right click on the Start button (well...where I assume the start button is--all I have is a black square in the lower right corner!) all I get is a tall rectangle box with an arrow, and no text, no menu choices. When I click on the arrow, I get another tall box with no options.I have an HP Touchsmart desktop (would like to give more specifics, but the "my computer" file is gone and I don't know where to find that info in 10 yet). I use Firefox
View 7 RepliesMouse Hover Actions Stop Working - Ghost Menus (almost) No Clicks Work
Jan 3, 2016I have been having this rendering issue for more than 3 months now and it persists after several OS re-installs.
Resolving this problem is of extreme importance to me since many of the programs I rely on are affected. Reverting to an older Windows version is not an option for me.
Affected programs:
Mocha Pro 4.1.3, IDA Pro 6.8, VLC Player & qBitTorrent (all versions)overall countless new and old programs affected
How to reproduce:
I can reproduce it successfully every timeMove the mouse from one sub-menu item that expands (SS1) to another (SS2) for a few times (usually around 10 is enough)It can also happen by interacting with any other UI elements in the program (although takes a few more clicks)
SS1:
SS2:
Facts:
Mouse stops highlighting any buttons or menu items in the whole program - if you hover over anything that's supposed to have a hover action (like these menus) - nothing will happen, as if the mouse isn't thereClicks will also only work in less than 10% of all scenarios'Ghost' menus (only the shadows of the drop-down menus are visible) will as well start appearing from some hover actionsUI of the affected program suddenly becomes very slow, laggy and choppy when the bug is triggeredEvery program effected by the bug will not exit properly no matter what and the process will stay running forever, unless closed via task managerThe only solution is to restart the program
Troubleshooting done:
old versions of the same softwarenew versions of the same softwareall compatibility settingsall possible integrated and dedicated GPU drivers (from both laptop manufacturer websites & official websites)fully disabling Windows animationsre-installing my computer 3 times
My guess (as of 4th of January, 2016):
I think that the hovering effect of the mouse gets 'stuck' in one place (the place where the glitch initially occurs) and it stays there forever, despite the movement of the actual mouse.
Screenshots (just a few of the many problems):

Context Menu Sometimes Works And Sometimes Does Not
Aug 7, 2015When I right click on something to get the context menu, it sometimes works and sometimes does not.
Here are three images showing how it appears. As you can see, there is a completely variable response as to what appears. I am using the standard Windows 10 theme in a completely fresh install (not an upgrade) on a new hard disk.
Right Click Context Menu
Sep 15, 2015I just upgraded my laptop from windows 7 to windows 10 and everything went very smoothly on the outside but I'm finding some hiccups as I go along. When I right click the start menus I do get the context menu with all the shortcuts to various apps. But when I click on, say for instance, Control Panel, instead of going to "Control Panel" I get a dialog box opening saying "Express Zip Free Version" This free version of Express Zip is licensed for non-commercial use only; Please confirm that:" then there are two options to click on and I'll only include the first one for sake of brevity, "Certify that this program is for non-commercial use only". Why in the name of all that is good does this dialog open and not a program from the context menu?
