Hello!
Not that I use it, I prefer the Microsoft Paint classic (thanks Winaero), but I have a weird bug in modern Paint app and I would like to resolve it. My system colors are set to custom and light mode for applications and dark mode for Windows. When I open modern Paint app (set to system default) it appears transparent and I cannot see the menu and the buttons. It is pretty useless. If I manage to locate the gear icon and switch to dark mode, it appears fine. If I leave it in dark mode, close it and load it again, it appears fine. However, I prefer light mode. If I toggle between dark mode and light mode, it then appears properly. If I leave it in light mode or in system default, close it and open it again it appears transparent! What is that weird bug? Has anyone else seen it in that or other application? If that makes any difference I have Mica for Everyone installed. Previous versions had a separate setting for Paint, but latest version 2.0.6.0 has only Global, Explorer and Notepad. All these three are set to Title Bar Color = Default, Backdrop type = None, Corner Preference = Default.
Thank you in advance.
PS: I removed Mica for Everyone and reinstalled it. It seems now that the bug fixed. I will wait a few days and then mark the thread solved.
