I have updated several versions, Dark Magic still has the same error.

It looks like the tooltips showing up in Directory Opus in today's test build are the awesome enhanced Dark Magic ones but with the text fixed! Thank you @Tihiy!

@Tihiy when will the magic get darker?

Unfortunately Dark Magic got deprioritised now that Windows Canary is requiring taskbar rewrite

You are really the best around. I'm so glad to hear you are keeping the classic taskbar alive! Dark Magic can wait, taskbar is more important. Thank you for your hard work and for fixing Microsoft's mess with each Windows release.

That's still very much up in the air.

Completely understandable!

[BUG Report] Running W11 with Dark Magic enabled on StartAllBack (v3.6.14) is seriously botching all Explorer.exe 'Properties' #32770 dialog windows (see screenshot).  Hopefully, this common dialog is an easy one to fix.   Many of the other issues have been resolved.  I really appreciate your efforts to improve this useful feature, @Tihiy!

Found a minor Dark Magic bug. When right clicking on a Directory Opus 13 floating toolbar (a toolbar that exists outside of the main Opus window, can live on the desktop or dock to the edge of the screen) while Opus is in Dark Mode (a new feature for Opus 13 that is implemented similarly to SAB, win32 property sheets are dark et cetera, great minds think alike 😉) the context menu comes up with mismatched colors.
