Type Ahead Find - customizable highlight color

Post by Mesh »

The current Type Ahead Find highlight color appears to be hardcoded. It would be nice if this were customizable, as an entry in the Colors configuration screen.

For me, I'd like to make it more subtle - especially since the selection is retained for many actions.

Gosh, horrible. I must not let this happen! Black on marker-yellow is okay. Sorry, guys.

I also agree that Type Ahead Find highlight color should be customizable to user preference and taste.

Any chance of getting this feature implemented on newer version of XYplorer?

I personally don't feel the need to change it but I can understand some people have trouble seeing yellow on a white background. :tup:

There is a tweak for it. This would make it green:

Code: Select all

SpotColorsList=7FFF00,FFEF00,FF40FF,00DFFF
