    + SC focus: Now PP also focuses the Preview Tab if that's where the preview currently 
      happens.
      Syntax: focus [control (L|A|T|C|P1|P2|PI|LFB|PP|FP|XY)]
        control:
          PP: Preview Pane or Preview Tab
    * Close Preview by ESC: Now the focus is moved to the list if it was on the preview.
    ! Toolbar | Details View: Under certain conditions, the button would get confused 
      about which view was last. Fixed.
    ! Edit | Paste Special | Edit Clipboard...: If you emptied the text box and clicked 
      OK, the clipboard would go into a mysterious state that had no content but was not 
      empty either. Fixed. Now the clipboard is empty.

    - Reversed these changes from v24.50.0208 - 2023-06-23 14:46 (more clarity):
      * Tools | Customize File Icons...: Same here, the list is now always enabled,

        regardless of the setting of "Enable Custom File Associations".

    + Hover Box: Now you can force the real path to be displayed in the status area of the 
      Hover Box. Toggle real/special path by pressing the "H" key while the Hover Box is 
      displayed.
        H: Toggle real/special path.
      Of course, you will only see a difference if the hovered path is a special path, and 
      if showing the path is enabled for the status area.
    % Hover Box: No more unnecessary repositioning by a few pixels when changing 
      properties.

v24.70.0006 - 2023-08-01 13:27
    + Tree: Added a way to backcolor different sections of the tree to improve orientation 
      in a long tree. It's currently implemented as a tweak, but is also available via 
      scripting.
      Four sections can be colored: SpecFolders1|Drives|SpecFolders2|Network, where 
      each color is optional and must be specified in RRGGBB format.
      Example tweak (omitting the Drives section):
        TreeSectionColors=F5F8FC||F0F8F8|F5F5F0
      Example script (omitting the Drives section):
        interfacecolors("F5F8FC||F0F8F8|F5F5F0", 1);
      More examples:
        echo interfacecolors(, 1); //display the current section colors definition
        interfacecolors("", 1); //remove all section colors
      Notes:
        - The sections as they appear in the tree from top to bottom:
          SpecFolders1: This PC and any special folders.
          Drives:       All drives with a drive letter (local and mapped).
          SpecFolders2: Recycle Bin and portable drives.
          Network:      All network locations with UNC paths.
        - If the color is missing, the section uses the default tree backcolor.
        - Dark mode colors are automatically derived from the light mode colors.

    + List: As an experiment, you can now toggle the selection of items in Details 
      view by Ctrl+Left-Click on any cell in the row, even if Full Row Select is turned 
      off. Makes it easier to select (deselect) items in a very wide list, especially when 
      the Name column is scrolled left out of view. Kind of "on-the-fly full row select".
      Note that the selection (deselection) happens on mouse up, just like with regular 
      toggle select in the Name column.
    + List: As an experiment, you can now hold CTRL while hovering any cell other than the 
      Name cell and a tooltip will show the name of the item. Quite useful if that name is 
      currently scrolled left out of view.

v24.70.0008 - 2023-08-02 12:16
    * Tree Section Colors: Revised the syntax by adding an additional field to the front 
      that is reserved for future use.
      Syntax: [Reserved]|SpecialFolders1|Drives|SpecialFolders2|Network
      Example script:
        interfacecolors("|F5F8FC||F0F8F8|F5F5F0", 1);
    + Tree Section Colors: Now you can also define the text color per section.
      Syntax per section: [[textcolor,]backcolor]
      Examples per section:
        0055AA,F5F8FC     Defines text and back color
        0055AA,           Defines text color only
        ,F5F8FC           Defines back color only
        F5F8FC            Defines back color only (same as above)
      Example:
        // defines text and back color for "SpecialFolders1", text color only for "Drives",
        // and back color only for the other sections
        interfacecolors("|0055AA,F5F8FC|008866,|F0F8F8|E5E5E0", 1);
      Remarks:
        - The section text color is used only when no Color Filter color applies.
        - If the text color is missing, the section uses the default tree text color.
        - Dark mode colors are automatically derived from the light mode colors.
    * Event Sounds: Now the volume is controlled by the Windows "System Sounds" volume 
      slider.
    ! Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles | Columns | Lighter text in details 
      columns: Never worked in Dark Mode. Fixed.

    + Tree Section Colors: Added an extra field for Portable Devices.
      Syntax: [Reserved]|SpecialFolders|Drives|PortableDevices|RecycleBin|Network
      Example script:
        interfacecolors("|0055AA,F5F8FC|008866,|F8F0E0|D0F8E0|553311,DDEEFF", 1);
    + Tree | Expansion Icons: Added a new shape "Chevron" (emulation of File Explorer 
      style in Win 10/11). Looks best without Lines (Tools | Customize Tree | Show Lines).
      FYI, to change the expansion icon Ctrl+Right-click any of the current expansion 
      icons in the tree.
    > Tip: Remove the lines (Tools | Customize Tree | Show Lines), set the expansion icon 
      to Chevron, and tweak the TPT width to 1 pixel:
        TPTWidth=1
      Looks slick.

    > Tree Tips:
      - Shift+Right-click tree white space: Quickly change the tree style.
      - Ctrl+Right-click tree expansion icon: Quickly change the expansion icon.
