Have been here for sometime and benefited by a lot of people's great work. Now it is my turn to contribute!

The famous registry tweak to bring back the classic shell context menu no longer works since Win10 1809. I hate the low contrast design immersive shell context menus.
I was looking for a programmable method to bring back the classic menu, but it turns out that this method requires a very deep understanding of Windows Shell and takes a lot of time.
So I found this compromised solution.

I did this on Win10 1903, and this should also work on 1909, 1809, previous and future versions of Win10. You need to install uxtheme patcher to make it work! This solution only gives you a similar look, it is still immersive menu. If you trying to add a menu background, this will not work!

Download the aerolite.msstyle here:

or
https://github.com/rikka0w0/ExplorerContextMenuTweaker/issues/5



1. Switch to the Win10 default theme and replace the aerolite.msstyles in %windir%\Resources\Themes\aero.
2. Ajdust the permission of %windir%\Resources\Themes\aero\VSCache, make Administrator own it and take full control of it, then delete whatever inside that folder
3. Switch to aerolite theme and your explorer context menu should look like the system context menu.
4. Adding my TaskbarContextMenuTweaker and the aeroglass8+ makes Win10 look even better!


Is there a way to change the radio button and the checkbox on the immersive menu?
