Thank you for noting about your code, just what i wanted!

I missed when CC got ability to draw bars and couldn't even imagine my idea above is fully implementable already! :kidding:
That's what i LOVE about XY - there is always some way to get what you want the way you want it. :appl:
Not a mockup - my version of CC live.

I'm really glad with results, the only thing i miss is ability to sort this column not by percentage of bar fill, but by actual size. But oh well, guess that's already too much for single column.

I think I've explained elsewhere why color-based solutions don't work psychologically.

I still like the idea, but then it goes against the traditional direction of progress bars and size bars. For now I will leave it as it is.

@jupe, how did you manage to make only second(background) colour transparent on your example image?

Is there some way to re-arrange CCs in their listing? The more CCs user creates, the further from top 10 it gets, and surely one wants to change their order sometimes.

P.s. Sorry for kinda offtopic questions, but as whole discussion was here, it's best place to put them.

Not transparent, just a light color, the colors are actually left color/right color, I just used FG/BG term because the OP did. You can reorder CC by using snippets temporarily, or manually edit ini.

Damn, hope Don adds some manual drag-re-arrange like elsewhere, 'cause current "re-order methods" may cause troubles.

Indeed. I had really forgot where did I found it, but it saved my day then. I really do appreciate your work.
If instead you look at the version I posted, you'd see it has 2 hex colors listed, per size group, ie. foreground background, ...
Thank you for the heads up. Great! :appl:

Slightly wild, I will find it more useful if it instead shows how much each file is contributing to the current folders space. The color can represent the age of the file and the graphics are shown left of the name column. If folder sizes are counted, they would contribute to graphs, if not they are skipped in both places (neither counted towards total size nor represented by a graphic)

That would mean the whole folder's size had to be calculated before the size bars can be shown. Too slow.

Right and must be recalculated on file operations. I did say wild.
