XYplorer Beta Club
If I start XY with a USB drive in the machine, the background Directory Area Color (pale brown) does not appear. Remove the USB, restart XY and the color is back.
Me or a bug?

Re: Directory Area Background Colors
USB drives have no own color. Are you maybe talking about portable devices?

Re: Directory Area Background Color
Sorry - not clear enough on my part. I meant the color of the directories under C:\ .... eg., C:\xxxxx, C:\yyyyy - which is light brown.

Re: Directory Area Background Color
This is weird! These folders should never be brown. Tell me more about this USB drive.

Re: Directory Area Background Color
Pretty standard USB driveS. I have tried a few with the same brown result.
I thought this was the colors from "Show Section Colors" in Tools|Customize Tree - which I have had ticked all along ???
What I thought odd was that the light brown was there without a USB drive but not there with a USB drive

Re: Directory Area Background Color
That brown color is (by default) meant for portable devices. Why is it applied to the folders under C:??? 
Do you also get this with a fresh instance?

Re: Directory Area Background Color
Yes - with a fresh instance PROVIDED there is no USB in the machine. If there is a USB in, then no brown color.

Re: Directory Area Background Color
Can you show me a screenshot of the complete tree when the brown color is present?

Re: Directory Area Background Color
Everything under the Computer node is brown??? 
And why does the Computer node have a normal folder icon??? Something is very wrong here.

Re: Directory Area Background Color
Custom File Icons are enabled in that screenshot, but they are not in a fresh instance. So, are you really sure this is a fresh instance?
