XYplorer Beta Club

Hello everyone!

I'm looking for an option to change the background color of all the folders but I couldn't find it anywhere. It only works in the overview of partitions.



But I can't seem to find an option to change the color of all the folder's backgrounds. They always use this color:



Can anybody help me please?


Greetings!

Try the script attached at XYstylEZ - Visual Themes for your XYplorer, made easy. Option 1 - list colors matcher.

While you're into the shadows, check out my Solarized theme port, dark (the RthemeL - aRtistic Theme Loader may be of interest too - either for tweaking existing themes or creating brand new ones from scratch).

The GUI way: tools, config, colors and styles, colors, LIST: there you'll find other list modes to tweak by hand.

That is where I changed all the other color settings to make it look like in my first screenshot. But there is no setting to change the background color for all the folders - or at least it doesn't work as you can see in my second screenshot.

Thanks for the help anyway. Looks like I can't do anything about it (yet).

That might be connected to the Tiles view and thumbnails.

Try this:

Squeezing in something slightly OT:
The BG-color of line numbers does not follow the rest of the active pane, which prevents me from using this column because it messes up color schemes. Or maybe I am missing something here?

There is only one value for "Line Num Back", which you can configure here: Configuration > Colors.

So if I read you correctly, there is indeed no way to fit in the line-# column with the overall color scheme - it will always stick out, either from active or inactive pane backgrounds, unless active and inactive both use the same BG.

Yep.

Oh, yes! Unchecking this box didn't work but I just changed the color and this did the whole trick. Thank you very, very much!

Unchecking this box works fine here.

Yep.

Hm, after giving it another try for the last hour, I still can't get used to that garish look of the line-column sticking out from the subdued inactive pane. Any plans for a more consistent color handling?

Well... XY ini, clrLineNumBack=...?
I dont get what happens to you.

And vice versa - over here this does not look like an ini-tweak, more like the regular config-setting.

So you're telling me your line-column has the same color as its siblings, when you choose a theme with different colors for active and inactive? What value do I enter for clrLineNumBack=?

Ah, ok.

1. no, single value for both panes.

2. try to use 1 instead of 0 for the value. 0 keeps reseting.
