Directory Area Background Color

You probably misunderstand "fresh instance". Paste fresh; into your XYplorer address bar and press ENTER. Then you get a fresh instance.

I did misunderstand. I don't use the Address Bar - but fresh instance below:

[admin]

Could you show me a shot of the complete window?

As requested

Thank you. I was wrong, these are no Custom File Icons, they just look similar.

1) Why does the Computer node ("Chris Dell...") have the normal folder icon? What does it look like in File Explorer?

2) By the way, what is your screen resolution? There is something wrong with the Tree Path Tracing, it's far too small.

[XY fan]

I hardly ever use File Explorer either - but image attached, I hope an informative one!

Very high screen resolution - 3940 x 2400. I am quite happy with the Tree Path Tracing width as it happens.

It is late here so I may not reply until tomorrow.

1) I don't know what to think about this computer node thing. In the next beta (v24.90.0123), try this debug script to see some internal information.

Code: Select all

enumshellfolderitems;

2) Is that Windows 11?

3) What's the screen custom scaling in percentage, 200%?

Debug Script result below

This is Windows 11

Scaling is 225%

Also the Recycle Bin has the generic folder icon. I've never seen something like this and I cannot explain it. Are you maybe running some exotic 3rd party skin software?

[XY fan]

No éxotic' software that I can think of. But I have changed the Recycle Bin and My Computer icons on the Desktop.

I quite like the light brown color as it appears on my machine. I just think it is odd that it is not there when I start the machine with a USB in it. I can 'solve' the issue by simply turning off Show Section Colors if it does get to bother me - so no sweat.

[admin]

The next beta has an improved version of enumshellfolderitems;. Show me the return with and without that USB drive. That should be enough for me to solve the mystery.

[XY fan]

As requested, with and without USB

[admin]

Great! Should be fixed in the next beta. The problem occurred where there was only one drive. I just did not expect that to happen

[XY fan]

FWIIW - I like the 'fixed' arrangement for the light brown background that is only present for folders of a removable drive.

Makes it much easier when you are copying stuff in to the said removable drive because its folders appear against a different background from folders of the C:\ drive - and so stands out. And I guess that was/is the intent.

[admin]

The light brown background is for portable devices. Currently there is no extra color for removable drives.
