Color filters versus AeroLite on Windows 8.1
Posted: 16 Jun 2014 20:00
Have been using color filters in XY successfully on Win 7. Got a new Win8.1 computer and learning its quirks.
The Windows Taskbar is partially transparent, which I find annoying. Found a workaround which involves using the AeroLite theme (workaround is found here: http://www.eightforums.com/customizatio ... acity.html)
Once the AeroLite theme was enabled, the color filters in XY did not work properly. When I select a colored file or folder, it becomes displayed as white-on-white (instead of the desired color), thus is unreadable.
I reverted to the Aero theme, and the XY color filters work properly again.
