This is Groupy 1.18 on Windows 8.1 Pro. Its look fine. This is on a Windowblinds theme. I am not sure what theme you are using. If it is Windowblinds please link me to it so I can test it out. But if you're using other 3rd party themer. I can't help you, since we know other themer don't always work with Stardock's product. If Groupy 1.17 work for you. I think you should stay with it.

Thank you,

If you have hacked your OS theme engine and theme I am afraid we cannot offer any technical support.

Groupy is designed to work with the default OS themes and WindowBlinds.

Dark explorer support is for Windows 10 1809 and above.

The active tabs aren't white like before. Bug? With my dark blue theme, the black text is hard to read on it.

It's the default Windows 10 theme with a dark midnight blue color. The color isn't normally allowed so I used Winaero Tweaker to force Windows to use it, but using the allowed ones like navy blue didn't fix the problem, and I love this color too much to switch to another. Lol. Downgrading to 1.17 gave me back my white active tabs.

Btw, my Notepad++ looks like this because of the settings I chose (Tab Bar and toolbar hidden, no border edge, etc.), not because of the Windows theme.

Thank you for the reply.

I've tried reinstalling 1.18 and then choosing navy blue again and I got this:


I chose one of the preset colors, and here's what I got:

... which I think should look like this:


This looks like a bug. I never experienced this in the prev. versions. Winaero Tweaker forces colors by editing the registry; it doesn't modify the theme itself.


Edit: After going back to 1.17, checking for new updates now tells me that there's no update available. Is 1.18 for specific versions of Windows? Mine doesn't have a "dark mode Explorer" and Windows Update tells me it's up-to-date.

Same problem on Windows 10 1803, downgraded to 1.17 and wait.
