Using XY12.40. When I use *\ I can assign an icon for all generic folders (folders without an icon specified in desktop.ini file). But when I try to assign different colored folder icons for different drive letters, using E:\*\ then I lose all of the specific folder icons (specified in desktop.ini f...

Re: thumbnails with blue background in transparent areas

Thank you for clarifying the problem. I am using Service Pack 3, the final service pack for XP, from 2009; but I had not done any bug-patch updates since then. I will try to find a more recent copy of the gdiplus.dll and see if that solves my problem. Thank you for the excellent software; I use it a...

Re: thumbnails with blue background in transparent areas

Thank you. What you wrote from the history.txt file describes the problem I am having. If it would help at all, I am using gdiplus.dll version 5.01.3104 dated 14Apr2008, and gdi32.dll version 5.01.2600 dated 14Apr2008 on XP SP3.

Re: thumbnails with blue background in transparent areas

Thank you for your responses. My main work computer is XP. It seems that this problem only occurs on XP. It looks like TheQwerty tried to reproduce the problem on Win7. I've already tried turning on/off 'super fast thumbnails', 'shell thumbnails', 'create all at once'; no change with any of these se...

Re: thumbnails with blue background in transparent areas

I forgot to mention that I am using XP SP3. I just put XY12.20 on my Tablet PC with Windows 7, and the thumbnails were the normal white backgrounds. On my XP desktop, I switched between high-contrast (light text on black ground) and normal contrast (black text on white background), and both showed t...

Re: thumbnails with blue background in transparent areas

Thank you for responding.

Here are the screenshots.

Thank you

Re: thumbnails with blue background in transparent areas

I have used XY for over 6 years. I use it every day, all day, in my work. I am an artist, so thumbnails of graphics are a very important part of my use of XY in my work. When I had a white background in the transparent areas of thumbnails, it was easy to see the true colors in the art work. Now that...

thumbnails with blue background in transparent areas

I've recently upgraded from XYplorer 9.9 to 12.2. In version 9.9 the transparent areas of thumbnails for .png files have a white background. And the transparent areas of thumbnails .ico files have a transparent background (same color as the list background). Now in version 12.2, the transparent area...
