3 UI graphical issues

[o7blue]

1. The bottom edge of the live filter bar is inconsistent (starting just under the letter 'i' of 'Live Filter', and ending about 25% of the window width in)

2. The details panel (Properties, Version, Meta, etc) has rounded tabs even though I have windows theme style selected. If this is by design, then the tab titles look almost cut off along the bottom, the spacing there seems insufficient (but I'm guessing I shouldn't be seeing round tabs here unless I select the modern style?)

3. Overlapping buttons on multiple file rename with my zoom settings

1. Indeed! (only in Dark Mode)

2. Info Panel is always now in the modern tab style (rounded and reduced), but there is a tweak that lets you select older styles:
TabIPVisualStyle=...
But I'm not sure if I keep that tweak.

I don't see the bad spacing here: it's probably related to your display settings. 125% or 150%?

3. I'll probably fix that. Again, what are your display settings? 125% or 150%?

Thanks!

Do you mean display settings on the system level? I run 3440x1440 native 100% scaling, and did not mess with anything in the exe's dpi settings. Unless there's an xyplorer option that I missed?

I'm pretty sure (and this was like 2 years ago so my memory's foggy) I only adjusted the font size (that's what :zoomin for the default catalog does right?) and made the top toolbar use big icons. It made everything nice and readable while keeping the UI pixel perfect (I think that term's applicable here?)

Can you show a shot of Help | Various Information?

Point 3 should be history in the next beta.

Thanks for taking care of #3!

Here's what my 'Various Information' looks like:

Thank you. Are any of the issues still unresolved?

[o7blue]

Testing with the latest beta I think you got all the issues, thank you!

A little more about #2 though. Checking the rounded style vs the flat style I think there's a 1 pixel difference in text height, look how the lowercase 'p' in Properties touches the bottom border:

round style:

vs flat style, where there is no contact:

I think that's why it looked "wrong" to me. It's a moot point though if I'm able to manually select the style though. So on that note: please keep the style tweak in the future . At least from a point of visual consistency, it looks nicer if my main tabs and bottom tabs are the same style, no?

Yes, I had to raise this line by one pixel, otherwise it would touch the top line of the 2nd row of tabs, which looks even worse. Btw, a font size of 12 or higher is not recommended here.

I'm honestly surprised how well everything works with my big font sizes to begin with haha. But I'm glad it does work because otherwise it'd be painfully tiny on my screen size. Thanks again for pointing out TabIPVisualStyle and here's hoping you'll keep it around

I think the change for #3 (or something else recently) has affected SC input, it now seems to ignore the notes field, eg. input(, 1); The layout changes but no text is shown, I am 125% if relevant.

The way to go is to increase the global text size in Windows display settings to 125% or 150%. This will work in XYplorer without any layout problems.

Ouch. Fix comes.

That is something that I do not want to do. Scaling by non-integer ratios is bound to introduce some kind of blurriness through whatever filter is used to scale up. And this is a global setting too, it would mess with everything on my system. As a counter-point, why not do what VS code does? There's an app zoom level that is completely separate from the font size setting.

Too late / not worth the pain. And the same blurriness issues would arise.
