@jupe -- After i open the ini file and look for dragstatusclasses... ,what value should i change there? Explain in detail.

Read the previous post again and enter the hex codes of your custom colors in the positions as described.

Yes, open your ini and find this key

DragStatusClasses=

then each of these numbers is a hex code that corresponds to a color

5495DC
FEA311
81409C
A0A0A0

so if you change the first code it will change the color for copy, the second will change the color for move etc.

DragStatusClasses=5495DC|FEA311|81409C|A0A0A0

you can use a site like this to choose colors if you want: https://htmlcolorcodes.com/color-picker/ just choose a color and grab the hex code displayed on the page, but without the #

Don, I like using the new drag status box, but as I mentioned before it doesn't work if I have the Disallow left-dragging from the tree and list checked off. I did have it checked in the past since I've gotten into trouble with inadvertent drags within the tree (e.g., moving a folder from folder to another in the tree). I never typically had the issue in the list pane. Is there any way you could separate that safety belt into two separate ones (i.e., "Disallow left-dragging from tree" and another for "Disallow left-dragging from list"? With the goal being I'd keep the Disallow dragging from tree checked, but allow dragging from list and therefore be able to see the drag status box for the more common drags accomplished from the List.

Hm, I agree that a drag-drop mistake from tree tends to be more disastrous than from list (although in XY, of course, we have Undo). And it would be nice to happily click around in the tree with full disaster protection while the list is ready to rock for drag and drop. So, yes, I see what I can do...

Thanks Don, that would be great if it's not too much work. If it turns out to be, I can be a more adventurous and enable the left drag option.

Done.

Looking good! It's nice to be able to drag from the list with your new drag status box and still keep the tree protected from unintended or inadvertent drags.

@jupe -- In these values of "DragStatusClasses=5495DC|FEA311|81409C|A0A0A0" what for is the 3rd and 4th hex value.

@Don -- Another thing optionally what i want is, when i copy files and then drag on to another tab,it switches to the target tab after 1 or 2 seconds.I don't want this to happen.Add an option to disable this.It's not necessary because we now have the drag status box to indicate it.

Add an option to disable this

How about looking into the options? It does already exist...
Configuration | Tabs and Panes | Tabs | Delay before a dragged-over tab is auto-selected (in milliseconds)
