Question about 'Immersive' Context Menu

[Nimbi]

Hello,

This may be a stupid question, but I've been seing things for 'Immersive' Context menus in some of the new Windows 10 Themes recently, and simply must ask; what is an 'Immersive' context menu? I've always used the basic context menu and never really knew there was more than one version. Basically, how different is an 'Immersive' context menu, and what would it be best used for? I'm asking because I want to make sure it's not something i've used before and simply never noticed, or if it's a different style of context menu of which could possibly be useful.

It's exactly the same as the standard context menu but in Windows 10 they decided to add 2 additional context menus, the one you see on the taskbar which is the immersive dark context menu and the one you now see on the desktop, they still use the default context menu in drop down in the explorer windows on the address bar and the old command module that is enabled when using Start Is Back.

Recently Tihiy discovered a way to disable this immersive desktop context menu and bring the more customizable normal context menu and that is the big difference with the immersive menus, like the start menu, jumplist, aero peak, tray flyouts, action center and taskbar in windows 10, they are all the new "immersive" style and basicly not fully customizable or controlled by the msstyles.

If this continues we most likely move away from using the msstyles all together and customization will be completely locked down, at the moment it seems allot of these immersive elements can be disabled through registry hacks but just like the start menu in the early windows 8 betas this could be completely removed in the future.
