Anybody else likes the matching Tree Path Tracing? If yes I would raise he option to the GUI.

Re: Idea: Same color, but different shades for active tab and breadcrumb bar
I don't like it with my dark blue breadcrumb bar. It is not emphatic enough, also the small gap between the two doesn't look good, when they are matched. I for one can't see any reason to match TPT and breadcrumb anyway. I am sorry, it is just not for me.admin wrote:Thanks for the feedback!Filehero wrote:yes, good idea!admin wrote: Well, I thought about it again, and added a tweak (next beta).

You mean the small gap at the top node (This PC)? Yes, I saw that, too. I could take care of this.

Yeah I was sure of it you could. By the way, I have permanent gap. Ah yes, I have border.admin wrote:You mean the small gap at the top node (This PC)? Yes, I saw that, too. I could take care of this.

Thanks for the implementation. The visual cue provided is finally making me having some peace with the single tree usability (sorry: that's me) issue.

The next version has the option in the configuration dialog. It's nice. Although I liked the green one, too. Well, it's easy to toggle now when you feel like it.

Don, what's the point of going above "This PC"?

Physical connection to the Breadcrumb Bar. When you think this is a stupid idea it will be hard to argue against you...

May make sense when wide tabs are enabled but without it just looks stupid...

Re: Idea: Same color, but different shades for active tab and breadcrumb bar
Please tell me how you managed to put some space between TPT and the window border. Mine is ugly, especially with dark color, it blends into the window border. (The screenshot cannot give a real picture of the problem, in real it is more disturbing visually.)Marco wrote:Don, what's the point of going above "This PC"?
