Inner box color not mirrored in list

[kunkel321]

I really like the "Box Color" feature! Having it mirrored in the List pane is an excellent part of the feature. It makes a lot of sense from a 'visual-perception' standpoint. When I have a box-inside-of-a-box, the Tree does a good job of representing it.



I find that I can only get the outer-most color to mirror though...
In the image, Dropbox is blue (which is the color of the list view), though the selected folder is yellowish.

Is there a setting I'm missing for this?

I've been using this from day 1, love this feature too.
Works as expected for me here.
Ofcourse i believe your screenshot, not sure whats missing.

Strange. It works well here. Cannot see what could go wrong at the moment.

Hmmm... I've checked and confirmed the behavior on my laptop with Win 7 and my Desktop with Vista. Oddly though, I see it only happens with certain folders. Dropbox, and one other folder will hog the color (and not let any subfolders' color get mirrored), but other folders work as expected. I can't figure out why.

Is there a way to re-set all the XYplorer.ini settings back to default? (I've already made myself a backup.) I can try that, and see if there's a difference.

Thanks All, for the replies.

Just delete the ini file, but better would be to copy your xyplorer.exe to a newfolder and try testing there.

Thanks for the tip--that was easier!

I think I found the independent variable...


It's not a setting--it's the name of the folder!
When folders and sub-folders' names are prefixed with "@" it messes up.

In the above setup, @sub1 does not work, but sub2 does...
Try and see if you get a similar effect.

Maybe the @ symbol is reserved by XYplorer for some special purpose(?)

EDIT: I renamed the problem folder and--indeed--the problem is fixed.

Yes, can reproduce. even ! or # (maybe more characters) do the same.

Wow, fascinating, I'll check that later...

[admin]

Fixed.
