This is the first stable version of AcrylicMenus

Since this release, AcrylicMenus is based on TranslucentFlyouts, which allows more customization, while AcrylicMenus is focused on vanilla Windows design.

Release notes:

• Both Windows 10 and Windows 11 are supported by this release
• Does not work correctly with Windows 11 21H2 due to blue highlight in context menus
  This can be solved by replacing aero.msstyles with an older version, which was used in Windows 11 June 2021 Beta builds

For maximum stability and avoiding incompatibilities AcrylicMenus will work only in File Explorer, however, techicially it is possible to make it run in other Win32 applications.

• Using Windows Event Hooking instead of hooking a DLL into each process
• Improved performance and reliability

Bugfixes:

Known issues:
