Can you Please turn THIS into THIS?
Merge the options and use the new modern style from the right-side menu.

Oh that's interesting, so the new Edge had that custom menu even on toolbar at some point in time?

I believe it was when Chromium made the tab menu worse/cleaner. I think 78? Edge kept the fully featured tab menu but kept the change to using a native menu for the titlebar menu. We could probably find the commit on Gerrit.

- pneenkoalabearMar 25, 2020Iron ContributorMicrosoft could even theme that native menu if they wanted. They've said no to consistency on the Windows Forms and WPF GitHub repos (so they probably wouldn't change any pure win32 stuff either). And they aren't even using WinUI for the shell yet.
and to think about the two terrible drop-downs found in Edge (Chromium/Anaheim):
One is the web one (you can find this in edge://flags) and the other is the Edge implemented one (found in settings>appearance, still built with web technologies (I think it's React and it reminds me of Fluent for web but I doubt it is)).
With the "web" one, the hover highlight is grey and it gets stuck. The selected item doesn't stay selected and isn't blue either.
The "Edge implemented" one selects the selected item but it's grey and not blue. They look different to the WinUI one too.- HotCakeXMar 25, 2020MVPUmm is there any screenshots? 🙂
