I recently installed XnView v1.97 with XnView Shell Extension v2.80 on Windows 7. When right-clicking on an image file, the Vista style context menu seems to change to an older/different when the XnView Shell Extenion is installed. What is causing this issue and how can I fix it?

Yes, it's a strange behaviour of Vista/7. If i use an own menu item, the menu is not drawn in the same way... Many other extensions have the problem...

So is there something I can do to resolve this strange behavior other than disabling the shell extension?
Or do I have to wait until an updated version corrects this flaw?

As soon as you have preview in the menu, Vista or 7 change the visual of the menu.
