P: Dark dropdown and right click menus - Update to WinUI3

Report · Sep 04, 2021

I'm a visually impaired user, and working in "dark mode" allows me to spend more time editing as light backgrounds are extremely tiring. Especially it is very difficult to read black text on a white background. Meaning I have to get much closer to the screen, which causes neck fatigue. The options to customize the user interface and make it darker are great, amd go a long way to helping, but they are incomplete. Dropdown menus and right-click menus remain white.

This is an accessibility issue. The workaround is to color-incpvert everything on the screen using Windows accessibility shortcuts, but that slows down the pace of work, amd obviously permanently working color inverted or similar isn't a great idea when editing photos.

For context I'm running Photoshop 22.5.0 on Windows 10. Your chat support assures me it is not possible to change the color of these menus currently.

Wait for WinUI3，it maybe released in Nov. or later.

After Microsoft releases, if Adobe is willing to follow up, you can use a modern menu bar, similar to UWP applications.

If Adobe wants, you can also use XAML island to refactor the menu.
