but when i open Configuration dialog i see it changing to

i found this color in Configuration > Colour & Styles as Sel. Items back(for non-focused list). so i got 2 questions:
- why does this colour applies only when some XY window is opened and not when XY itself is not focused?
- which is the setting to change selection text and background colour? i know it's stupid, but i tried some and selection colour remains as on 1st picture above(white text, dark blue back).

can someone please say how to get lines-between-files effect like here?

Tools/Customize List/Show Grid. And you can change the color of the grid in Colors&Styles as you wish. Red line: "Underline selected rows" in Colors&Styles, select red at the color of "Selected rows".

One of my favorite thing in XYplorer, that I can use the colors in order to speed my work by visual effects. However, I'm sad a bit, when Color filters doesn't work as I expected and it is hard to set the color filters as I want. Color filters should be polished, making it simplier and more sensible, but I think Don won't do that in the near future because of other important tasks.

Untick "zebra striping" option, because it hides the grid.

- why does this colour applies only when some XY window is opened and not when XY itself is not focused?

Because it is programmed by XY, so when XY shows a child window or you shift the focus to the tree, the software changes the color to light blue (selection background). But if you click to other non-XY window, the Windows is responsible for changing color, and it changes the window title bar color to lighter blue. So "Selection background color" shows the position of focus inside XY. A list item doesn't lose the focus by your click to other non-XY window. All in all, background doesn't refer to XY window in this context.
