Describe the bug

There is no way to change the font used in the dropdown menu of folders added as toolbars to the taskbar.

When I use a tool (e.g., Winaero Tweaker) to change
the MenuFont in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics,
the font of the triangle on the right changes,
but the font used for other folder names and such does not.

Expected outcome

I would like to request one of the following:

  • Similar to the triangle mark, the font set in MenuFont under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics will be used to display the folder names of folders added as toolbars.
  • Allow setting the font used for toolbars in the ExplorerPatcher settings screen.

Actual outcome

The state of the pull-down menu added as a toolbar to the taskbar before changing the MenuFont size in the registry (14pt).
*The taskbar is located at the top of the screen.
Image

The state after changing the MenuFont size in the registry to 36pt.
*Only the triangle mark is larger.
