i found out that "Classic Panel" Color still alive . ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors")

when using Windows 10 Darkmode i try to manipulate FF Menu Color with SetSysColors()
menu foreground seem to react but background not.

hi,

can you reproduce the Problem ?
it is not urgent but it look bad when try to "skin" Color like Darkmode from Windows 10

I didn't manage to reproduce this issue on Nightly or Firefox 66.0, Windows 10. I think a good starting point is to set a component.

hi,

thx for Answer.

try -> about:addons -> themes
you will find black / white ( Firefox ? ) Theme

when switch to Darkmode horizontal Menu Color change but vertical Menu not.

when using Windows API SetSysColors() you will see that vertical Menu Background Color did not change !
while Foreground Color of Menu Caption using SetSysColors() change i get Cyan on White instead of Black.

so if horizontal Menu Color change why not vertical Menu Color ?
