XYplorer Beta Club

I find that it's best not to play with display scaling on windows. A lot of programs have an old code based and when they were written scaling didn't even exist as a concept. Most monitors were tiny and low res for a great many years. Remember that XYplorer has been written over the course of more t...

Cool thanks for sharing!

Also would like to hide the file date, time and version. So you don't find the extra info useful? That's what makes XY display better because it does show this... No, when I want to see that much detail I would just switch to "details view". It should be possible to customize a shortcut k...

Thanks,

Thanks for the suggestion. I will use smaller screenshots in the future.

I'm always greedy for screen space, so I want to hide titlebar too. But, I won't bother Don because there's nice workaround: Simply move the window up a bit => titlebar will be off-screen. That's all When i start using xyplorer I think I will use autohotkey to hide the toolbar, that seems to be the...

Unfortunately not. Tiles view is mostly mimicking Windows Explorer so those limitations are from that. Does it ? I'm would be happy with mimicking the Windows Explorer tiles view for example, but on my system WE tiles and XY tiles look totally different as well. Compare the following 3 screenshots ...

Definitely not arbitrary. Same reason why you have "Toyota", "BMW", "Coca Cola", "Audi", "Ford" on your car. :whistle: Not quite. On my car the brand is on the outside while I'm inside, so it doesn't bother me while I drive. In an application the ti...

Thanks for the heads up!

is there a way to customize large tiles view ? Right now I'm stuck with very small icons. Also would like to hide the file date, time and version. The file name is too short and can't be read for files with long names! Finally, the spacing (both horizontal and vertical) between the files is too clos...

To center it, simply add enough space to the beginning

Why is <app> mandatory ??
Another arbitrary decision!?

Is it possible to customize the text in the title bar so that only the path is shown?? TitlebarTemplate="<path>" does work because <app> must be in there, I want it removed. Also, is it possible to align the text to the left instead of center ? There should be someway to do these things no ?

Good to know that at least there are hacks to do this.

Still, not having the min, max, close buttons is a shame.

I wonder why more applications don't use the chrome style for tabs and no title and menu.
The only app that I know of that uses them is Clover

...In fact in general I wish XYplorer looked as Cubic Explorer and also had all the visual customizations that Cubic has. ... for a file manager that looks like CubicExplorer, you'd better use CubicExplorer... :) Cubic explorer doesn't look like that. MY version of it does, others differ greatly. I...

I wish tiles view mode in XYplorer looked like the one in Cubic Explorer.
In fact in general I wish XYplorer looked as Cubic Explorer and also had all the visual customizations that Cubic has.

I wish to hide the title bar of the application (completely like chrome does). I also wish to hide the main menu. The windows buttons (minimize, maximise and close) can go on the right side of the toolbar for example. I know this is not possible and will not be planned for future versions of XYplore...
