Hello
I'm using the version 18.90.100 of XYplorer on a computer with french edition of Windows XP Pro SP3.
The name length while renaming feature doesn't works as expected.
On the screenshot below the name length isn't displayed :

On this screenshot, with a forbidden character (?), the warning icon is displayed but not the name length:

I hope that this bug will be resolved in the next release.

Are you using any kind of software like WindowBlinds, etc. (that allows you to customize / skin your desktop appearance)?
If not, try a fresh instance (::fresh;) in the address bar to see if not a color setting is preventing the correct displayment
of that box content)

Hello,
No, I'm not using any software like WindowBlinds.
The problem occur even on a fresh install of XYplorer with default settings.
Best regards

Well, this matches your other problem with the missing toolbar separators. Something is apparently wrong with your color setup or your graphics. I don't think this is a general XP problem, since there are still a number of XY users on XP who would have told me otherwise.

I have found the culprit: Zune desktop theme
This theme is provide by Microsoft apart from Windows XP.
It's an official theme from Microsoft. Can you add support to this theme to XYplorer ?

That looks like a bug in that theme.
In the next XYplorer beta run this line through the Address Bar and post the returns:
Code: Select all
text "COLOR_WINDOWFRAME: " . get("syscolor", 6) . <crlf> . "COLOR_HIGHLIGHTTEXT: " . get("syscolor", 14);

Here the return:
COLOR_WINDOWFRAME: 000000
COLOR_HIGHLIGHTTEXT: 000000

Well, that explains it.
It means that this theme is
buggy. It's not the first MS bug...
I see if I find the time to work around it...
...
Done. Next beta.

Sounds more like trolling to me. I guess at some point I need to take some actions...
