Easiest was to make Dark Mode version of Custom Colors?
Posted: 22 Feb 2021 20:08
My color scheme https://i.imgur.com/NIpIx3U.png has been this way for a while. I don't really want to change it... BUT I'd kinda' like to give Dark Mode a try for a while. My colors are way too bright for DM, but I figure that I can make a "Dark Mode version" of each.
It occurs to be that I could use Instant Color Filters, but that seems clunky. I guess I could also make another version of my xplorer.ini file. But then other (non color) customizations would have to be updated all the time in two different ini files.
What I plan to do, is just duplicate all of my color code definitions (the colored things in the screenshot). I'll have a bright version and a dark version, then I'll uncheck the half that I'm not using at any given time.
Are the definitions stored in the ini?? I couldn't find them. I thought that editing the ini would be the easiest way to bulk-duplicate them. If the list had an 'Editor Mode' (the little pencil icon) it would be easier...
Do folks have any other recommendations for setting up a "Dark Mode version" of my custom colors?
EDIT: Interestingly, I just noticed that if you right-click an entry, there are options such as "Copy all checked items" but there doesn't seem to be a way to paste them into the list(??)
EDIT:
Groovin'
The "copy all" command does put the text on the clipboard. I pasted it into notepad, then cut the definitions and put each line into a new definition entry... Didn't take long.
