Yeah, if I set the default app mode to "dark", the the plugin works to force Rainmeter context menus to dark.

Not a fan of this dark mode in Windows, 90% of the apps I run don't obey it and it turns into a mess. They may get this right someday.

Yes... when I set Windows setting "Choose your default app mode" from Light to Dark (in Japanese Windows, "既定のアプリモードを選択します" from 白 to 黒), the plugin works!

Thanks, jsmorley and of course oZone!!

I have updated plugin.

Windows 10 build 10.0.18362 (update 1903) (maybe there was previous insider version) has changed one unnamed function, so it is possible to use dark mode ignoring system wide theme for apps.

Use option Force=1 together with DarkMode=1 to always use dark mode.

And again If there is some issues, reply here. I will try to fix it, but I won't promise anything.
(Working with undocumented methods is PIA).

Now I can use DarkContextMenu when Windows(1903) color mode is "White" with added "Force=1" option. Thanks a lot, oZone!

The law of averages says what it means; even if you get everything right, you will get something wrong. Therefore; self managing error trapping initiates another set of averages - amongst the errors, some of them will not be errors, instead those instances will appear to be "luck". One cannot complain of the 'appearance' of 'infinite regress of causation', even if it does not have a predictable pattern, only that it requires luck to achieve.

Hi oZone

Thank you for providing a nice plugin. Really appreciate.

I have confirmed that the tooltip of my skin is shown in dark mode with Tooltip=1 option. But it seems to be effective for only a skin in which DarkMode plugin is set.

Is there a way to make dark tooltip valid in all skin loaded as the DarkMode=1 option? Do I need to set plugin measure with the option in all skin?
