I just tested TC 9.51 RC2, fresh install, clean .ini: the dark mode menus still don't work (tested ForceDarkModeOptions=1, 2, 3).
It seems the subclass calls were not the cause for my TC 95x64 problems on my PC.

Could you try with the following option, please:
wincmd.ini
[Configuration]
ForceDarkModeOptions=4

This turns off the subclassing of the main menu, so it will have a white border. I want to check whether the problem occurs within the subclassing function, or within the normal menu draw functions.

This option requires TC 9.51 RC2.

With
ForceDarkModeOptions=4
the main menu works on my PC in dark mode (and light mode) with TC 9.51RC2x64.

Sounds promising - I found a possible reason. I have just sent you a link to a private beta version to your e-mail in the forum. Could you please test it? Of course you would also have to remove ForceDarkModeOptions=4 from wincmd.ini.

Thank you for your continued support.

Directory tabs and dark main menus work for me with your private beta version.
