Explzh 9.88 changelog:

By making the tree view in the left pane owner-draw, we fixed the issue where, in extremely rare cases, full-width Japanese characters following special characters such as Unicode combining characters or zero-width spaces would be displayed garbled. This also improves visibility, including the status color.
When the dark mode setting is enabled, we have changed the way dynamically created progress bars are drawn to use dark mode compatible APIs. This is reflected by applying the latest Windows Update, and the bar color will be displayed in white.
In dark mode, we have reduced flickering when the file name text drawing in the device's status bar is updated rapidly.
The "Disable incremental search function" option has been added to [Options] - [General] - [Settings] - [Basic Operation].
By checking "Use dark mode checkbox colors" in [Options] - [Window] - [Color Font Style] - [Dark Mode Options], the checkboxes will now be displayed in dark mode.
Other minor corrections were made.
