"Default" as Label back color?

Post by kunkel321 »

Still on the Label topic, but I guess this warrants a separate thread...

I have my folders color coded (via Color Filters) to be a manila-yellow color. But then I also want to apply label colors. The CF folder color does still show on the right edge of the folder name, out from under the Label color, so that's cool. It might be clever though, if the Label Back Color could be set to "default." Then I could have the Label Text colorized, and the Folder name would use the CF color for the back color.

Of course, it occurs to me that the Windows color picker (in screenshot) does not accommodate this. I see (in the Configuation > Tags area, that the "Label style" has a "No coloring" option. I suppose you could add a "No back coloring" option to the list.

Then again, that might just confuse people... IDK.

You can already do this, just hold Shift when clicking the Back Color... button in config with the label selected.

But I'd actually recommend you to check out Tools | Customize List | Show Folder Row Colors instead of using CF's, the default color is customizable if you don't like it.
