  1. Numerous dark mode improvements and fixes.
     
  2. "Dark mode" options in "Settings/Interface" are renamed to "Color mode".
     
  3. It takes less time for WinRAR items in Windows 11 context menu to appear, when right clicking a lot of selected archives.
     
  4. Exporting settings with "Export settings to file" command of "Options/Import and export" submenu doesn't trigger User Account Control prompts anymore.
     
  5. "Bad archive" exit code 13 is returned in the command line mode, when attempting to unpack a non-RAR archive with .rar file extension.
     
  6. "External viewer name" field in "Settings/Viewer" recognizes "\", "..\" or ".\" in the beginning of path, allowing to specify paths relative to WinRAR program folder.

    2. console RAR fell into infinite loop, when trying to process user input in prompts like the overwrite prompt in Windows 7;
       
    3. running executables from archive subfolders failed with "Cannot execute" error;
       
    4. WinRAR.ini contents could be reset if "Reuse existing window" option was on and multiple archives were opened in the same WinRAR window.
