TC [9.50] Dark Mode - Menu - White Frame

[Pawel]

Is it possible to eliminate this ugly white frame around the menu in TC?
It is visible only for a short time in Dark Mode. It disappears, but I can still see it.

Please, take a look at this short video (5Mb):

No it can't. I'm overdrawing it as soon as I can, but it's not drawn in WM_PAINT, so I cannot remove it immediately.

There is actually a solution, but only system-wide: You need to disable menu animations, they cause this delay in overwriting the white border.

1. Open control panel control.exe
2. Show small or large icons
3. Open "System" - "Advanced system setting" - "Performance" - "Settings..."
4. Uncheck "Fade or slide menus into view"

Thanku You for the tip. It works!

I have always had this option unchecked - and I still see a blink of a bright frame when opening a submenu to the main menu. (Windows 7, 8.1 and 10 1909, but not Windows XP)

Strange, no blink here.

I tried to make a video - not all of the flashes turns up in the video, but you can see it for some of the menus, it seems to be especially noticeable for long menus. https://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/menuborderflash.mp4

I managed to improve it a bit with a faster timer (already used by 32-bit), but it's not possible to eliminate it entirely.
