CorelDraw Menu Bar Not Visible After Upgrade To Windows 10 (Font and Background Same Color)

No matter which Theme or Color scheme I use in Windows 10 My CorelDraw and Corel Photo Paint X4 & X7 Menu Bars are not visible. (also another person on this site, (Connie32244) has same problem with X5)

Moving mouse over the bar the item the mouse is over is visible and useable. The Font and background of the bar appear to be the same color. Windows 10 did this. Not a Corel problem. Anybody got an answer?

Microsoft, You Out There??????

The menu bar is only visible if I choose a High Contrast display option.

Yes, with high contrast scheme the menu text will show in black.
Corel use in its programs a black menu bar. But it seams, Windows 10 don't allow the application to draw the black menu bar.

It's definitively a Windows 10 problem.

I installed CorelDraw X6 as a new installation after upgrading to Windows 10.  I just checked(Help/Updates)  for updates and found that there were updates available.  After installing the updates, this problem was corrected.  I now see a black menu bar with white menu items.  ???

I have coreldraw x4 and I do not have any updates,
corel probably will issue updates only for the X5 and X6.

I solved this problem, I installed the compositions of this page:

http://link6155.deviantart.com/art/Silk-for-Windows-10-Technical-Preview-487071428

After unpacking, copy the files to C: \ Windows \ Resources \ Themes
when turned on, the menu is displayed in coreldraw !!
I hope microsoft fix it in the original composition.

The composition is not 100% good,
for example. sart menu works badly... but there is hope...

I know, before I installed the program UxStyle - Preview: For Windows 10 Technical Preview (0.2.4.2)

from this page - www.uxstyle.com, 

then I activated theme

I checked on three laptops, and it works.

until resolution of the problem by microsoft or corel, this way is quite nice.

No Go for me. Corel 4 still all white menu bar with any of the "Silk Themes" from your previous post using the methods you described and the follow link. (http://link6155.deviantart.com/art/Silk-for-Windows-10-Technical-Preview-487071428) etc.

A clean install of my CorelDraw 7 and all the updates is okay but I have not started using CorelDraw 7 yet.

I/We have been using CorelDraw since Windows 3.1 days and I even have a DOS version around here somewhere... Takes me awhile to warm up to new versions of any new software so I am back using Windows 7 and 8 with all my design systems as we at Guru Graphics are staying with Corel 4 a bit longer and dumping Windows 10 until there are a lot of fixes. This one for sure and the method they choose for us to run updates on there schedule and not ours..

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!  :(
