How to see Selected Row color?

Post by binocular222 »

Colors and Styles > Color > Selected rows
Change this setting has no effect at all because the color is dictated by Windows' Theme (Win7: Personalize > Window color > Selected Items).

So, what's the point of this setting? How to use this setting instead of Windows Theme's color?

Tick "Tools | Customize List | Highlight Selected Rows"...

And I have to disable "Full row Select"
Even in that case, the color in Name column is still controlled by Windows

Is there anything else that can be tried that would overcome the Win7 theme colors taking precedence?
Tried both of the above with no success.

Figured it out. :oops:
I had Configuration > Styles > Selections set to Windows Themes.
By changing to XYplorer Classic I now get the whole row selection.
