HoverBox improvements

[klownboy]

BTW, here's an idea for the one of the next version: You can scroll the Hover Box contents using the mouse wheel!

Now that would be cool. Will it work by immediately scrolling with the mouse as long as the HBox is up even though the mouse is not over Hbox? Obviously now as soon as you move the mouse away, the box goes away. I would think that we could scroll the box as long as the box is visible regardless of mouse position. At some later pint you might consider this for other Hover Boxes like a text box.

If you are asking me:

Screen: 1920x1080, 1/1 (Primary), Work: (0, 0) - (1920, 1030)
Screen DPI: 120 (125%), twx: 12, stretch: 1

The same resolution here.

Exactly. And yes, I'm already considering it. It would be the epitome of coolness...

Yes, with this resolution I'm seeing it too. Guess I will fix it...

I just noticed some HoverBox folder icons on network shares aren't working, similar to the issue I described here:

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=19387&start=30#p162041

Same folders, showing same blank icon, but in HoverBox now.

Text doesn't look very good,it is light and dull to read,try using verdana font

@hari3: You can already choose the font you want to use here:

Configuration | Colors and Styles | Fonts | Edit Text

What i meant was - default font doesn't look good

Also, there should be a toolbar icon for hoverbox to toggle it,by which one can just clicking this icon can enable/disable hoverbox
without going to settings every time.

Yes, thanks. Should be fixed in next version.

Recent betas (not just .0007)...

Tree: When "Full row select" is checked, then hover over icon apparently does not show the box. I would not expect that.

List: When "Show info tips only when hovering file icon (File Info Tips)" is checked, then - when in tiles or thumbnail view - I would rather expect that tile/thumbnail "takes the icon role", and not its text.

Honestly if that were to happen when viewing in thumbnail mode we have the Hover Box popping up incessantly and quite annoyingly all the time when not desired due to the large areas covered by the thumbnails. It does come up on the "filenames" and "folders". There's another setting under Thumbnails to "Show icon on thumbnail". I'd say only show a Hover Box on that icon if someone has that set, otherwise only on the filename or folder as it does now.

I think we can do better than those 3 dots. What about this way to show that the list longer than can be shown:

I (or you) might come up with something better later, but you get the idea...

If you're still keen on implementing a dark theme, I think that the hover box background should be dark in that case, and this wouldn't work so well.

There is always foreground and background color, even in dark mode.
