The folder line color & the upper line of the activated tab color can't be configured in configuration/Interface colors.

The recyble bin & control panel are too far (by option, put it back in the tree) & even in hot list by right click.

It's better for the resumed info panel : drive : "size". Used "size" (xx%). Free "size" (xx%).

If possible, The columms size are immediately autosize (to avoid having ... at the end).the final sizes are immediately applicated for all other tabs.

By default, we have only 3 columms : #, name & size. Instead of breadcrumb, we can choose the folder in the tab name (xplorer2 in www.zabkat.com)

History (being compacted) & hot list aren't the same?

The control panel should be explorered with (see xplorer2 1.7.0.5 or newer)

no preview option installed.

I find the menu having so much option that I don't use, if we can disactive them in the configuration (like opera browser)

Hi and Welcome to XYplorer forums,

First thing I said when I saw your post was WOW so many wishes. Anyway, I am sure you spent sometime trying to find answers before asking for these wishes. because most answers are either here or in the XYWiki. And I numbered your wishes for my convenience:

1. What is folder line color, can you be more specific?
The activated tab line cannot be configured, but if you dont like it you can uncheck "Yellow highlight marks..." from Config> Tabs.
2. Too far? its just two clicks, Tools>Control panel. If you dont like it you can still assign a shortcut to either of them from Customize Keyboard shortcuts. Or have ::#640 and ::#641 in catalog. You've got many options.
3. I dont understand, you mean status bar? All those info is right there.
4. You can disable autoresize from Views>List view. And the way it is now, it will be applied to all tabs immediately.
5. Only 3 columns? Thats strange because I tried a new install now and it has all the columns.
And clickable paths might come in future.
6. Not same, Hotlist is arranged according to drive letters while with history you can trace back 32 locations backwards.
7. Sorry but I have no time for seeing xplorer2 1.7.0.5. Maybe soeone can hel here.
8. General rule for previewing: if you open something with internet explorer then XY can preview it. A lot depends on you system, if it has relevant codecs etc. Read about preview in wiki.
9. As of now its not possible, but it would be good if you point out which of those menus are too crowded for you or scare newbies off.
Hope this info helps.
