Transparent background icons in Windows File Explorer context menus

Hello,

On macOS the odrive Finder context menu icons have transparent backgrounds, so if you’re in macOS light or dark mode you just see the odrive logo, no background. Under Windows dark mode we see a white background:

This is still a problem, also in Windows. Any news about this issue?

Context Menu Icons don’t have a transparent background. I see this has been a problem for multiple years. Can we please do a release to fix this? Looks pretty bad.

Yes, this has definitely been at the bottom of the queue for too long.

The issue is that it actually requires a hefty re-write of the code to implement fully. That being said, a less-drastic change has been made that should make this a lot better for the majority of users.

The new version with this change is here:
