Column header color or border

Post by LittleBiG »

Is it possible to set the color of the column header, or at least add a border to it? This doesn't look too cool on WIndows 10:

Not sure what is not too cool in this shot. The color comes from Windows themes. Cannot set it.

So that's Win10? (Your side signature still shows Win7...)

How does it look in File Explorer?

well, actually Win 10 columns also have no bottom border. But it does have some padding between header row and first list item.

No line. But there is no grid possibility in file explorer. Primarily the grid makes the look akward.

Well, I see no elegant solution at the moment.

Now I can see that you do have an elegant solution. Apparently you are able to color the column header and in dark mode you colored it a bit lighter than the list background. And it looks so good. Please give something to make it possible in non-dark theme. Or make it automatically a bit darker if the list background is white.

OK, I will set it to FCFCFC (as a tribute to the local football club). :ball:

Yep. The local club is just called "FC".

Thanks for doing it. However, the change is so subtle that I can't really make out it. My monitors are far from state-of-the-art (old LCDs) and even on my work notebook I can see the difference only by turning the display in a specific angle. I hope your FC plays football stronger than that 😁

Calibrate the thing! (I wish I could do that with the club...)

Actually, thinking about it, I decided to withdraw this change. I rather leave the theme standards for now. However, it could become an option later. Then you can decide which color you want.

Yes, I fully understand that and am looking forward to the option then.
