Better visual design and visual options

[Filehero]

These things are very difficult because of Windows Themes. I'm sorry that I might have raised false hopes but I cannot modify theme-related interface elements because that would certainly turn out real ugly frankenstein mess for many users.

No worries. As I wrote, this is just a fun project for me, I could have taken any other object for my exercises.

(What I thought you would do was something much more radical, like a new metro kind of approach to file management, lots of colorful rectangles and so on, totally beyond the good old tree-list-addressbar scheme.)

This has been put down the list - currently, I'm ribbon-izing XY.

Again, rather fun than concrete wishes/hopes.

Hi Don,

after you have made the layout of the tabs-BC-combo so fresh and tasty and because it's another rainy sunday, I have to resurrect this thread.

These things are very difficult because of Windows Themes. I'm sorry that I might have raised false hopes but I cannot modify theme-related interface elements because that would certainly turn out real ugly frankenstein mess for many users.

Apart from the tabs and breadcrumbs, are there other gui-components that arent't bound to Windows Themes (e.g. the background colors of various other bars)?

Tabs, column headers, scrollbars, buttons (incl checkboxes, radio buttons): Themes. All other stuff is mine.

All other stuff is mine.

Thanks.

Edit
So, there're chances that some more colors could become configurable some day.

I thought Tabs belongs to Don too? I can customize Tab's color
Only Column header, scrollbar; Statusbar, buttons are theme, in which, only the column header's color bothers me because it's right in the middle of screen (statusbar blend in well with Taskbar).

Tabs background is theme unless you are in classic mode.
