Cannot see non-selected files outline with Selections: XY classic style

[Filehero]

What about reading the release notes?

Code: Select all

    * Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles | Focus rectangle: Now, when 
      "Focus rectangle" is unticked and selections are set to "XYplorer Classic 
      Style" a solid (non-dotted) focus rect outline is drawn around focused 
      non-selected items using the active selection background color. Before, no 
      focus rect was drawn under these conditions.

I have, I just want the old days back. Heul.

Seriously: I always wondered how this focus highlighting can be considered more helpful than confusing. Anyway, I've just checked

Configuration | Colors and Styles | More Colors | Selections is Windows Theme Style

and Windows File explorer.

It's all the same, rectangles wherever you look at.

But I finally know where my confusion comes from. I thought the "Focus rectangle" is an on/off switch which it isn't.

So before you did not mark the focused item at all? So you had no clue that the List was focused if there weren't any selected items? IMO I fixed a bug by changing this with v18.80.0005.

Yes, I'm afraid you have fixed a bug. This is one of the rare times where I loved a dysfunctional software component.

Any chance to get this bug back as a tweak?

Inofficial focus rect tweak:
FocusRect= ... // 0 = solid, 1 = dotted, 2 = none (only affects XYplorer Classic Style)

(next beta)

Thanks, Don.

Will set it tomorrow.

In the meantime I added it to the GUI. You know, I don't like the solid focus either...

Good move, makes the config semantics consistent again.

Yeah, this rectangle is weird ...

I'll do it. That dotted focus rectangle is totally outdated.

Hey sorry for bringing this up, but I just updated XY and I can see the outline box! It looks perfect, thanks for implementing it
