Column Heading and Colour Scheme

Post by mithrin »

When applying my colour scheme to version 10.70 the column heading are no longer visable. I can't see any way of controlling them. So I think this is a bug.
Secondly, I've always had a problem with the column headers smudging when using the slider. So I think this is also a bug.

Hi and welcome!

How should the column headers look? Do you have a screenshot from Explorer?

Can you not see the files attached.

exhibit B XYplorer10.50.png - The heads are shown, panal left is fine but panal right is smudged. This happens when I use the slider left and right. This has always happened since v9.90 my first purches of XYplorer.

exhibit A XYplorer10.70.png - The heads are shown but the text is black and in the colours & styles none of the text is set to black. (and I mean none)

I'm surprise know one else has this problem!

And based on prior issues similar to this, a screenshot of the Config for the Fonts section may be helpful as well...there have been cases where an oddball font setting has mucked up tabs like that.
Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!
(XP on laptop with touchpad and thus NO mouse!) Using latest beta vers when possible.

1. "How should the column headers look?" If you mean, How should the column headers look like? Haven't a clue, just what the program defults are.
2. I've attached a screen shot of the configuration for the fonts. I haven't changed them from the defults.
3. I've also attached a screen shot of win exployer because I presume this is what you mean by"Do you have a screenshot from Explorer"

No "attached screen shot of win exployer" visible. :?

Why do I ask for it? Because the column headers colors cannot be configured in XY, so I assume you either configured system wide colors, or you are using a 3rd windows theme.

Sorry, I thought the screen shot for explorer was uploaded. Anyway I've uploaded again and checked.

But why does my colour scheme work in 10.50, be it a bit smudged and not 10.70. In 10.70 now, the background is colour in and is not left alone.

So you can control your column header back color by setting your list back color?

If yes, then why only you? Are you using any 3rd party Windows Themes?

No I'm not using a Theme (see attached).

So you can control your column header back color by setting your list back color? NO. Not in my case because my colour scheme requires a whiter text and you say that can only be change from a windows theme. But there is nothing stopping someone else having a darker text system wide and a lightish list back colour.

In 10.50 The header is left aloan (black on white) but in 10.70 after a few directroy moves the header is coloured in and stays coloured. (black on dark blue)
