Hello @donho ,

I just made the first release of ComparePlus plugin and made a PR for it to NppPluginList.
Will it be possible to include it in the Plugins list 1.5.2 coming with Notepad++ v8.4.5? I hope its not too late for that.

Thank you for the new N++ release!

Done. Please recheck the RC package. It should be OK.

Using a Dark mode on Windows 7 some of the text is dark

It’s not only on Preferences, but on others too.

@rddim Could you check with v8.4.4 please?

[rddim]

@donho

8.4.4 is fine. I’ve found the last normal build at appveyor is Fix drag n drop documents crash between 2 instances. I think this issue comes from the next commited Fix crash on Wine. Also I see only text that have checkbox or radio button is affected.

and borders/frames
