Perfectly Aligned Files and Folders After Selection for Copy or Move(Deletion) by Custom Colour Highlights
Posted: 01 Dec 2025 10:35
I have looked in Confgiuration pane, under [Colors and Styles] and [File Operations] but cannot find where or how to set colours for the selection highlights of two irreversable actions, for when I'm about to perform a big huge archival file/folder COPY and file/folder MOVE command.
My eyes are going bad with age, and the thin line with soft light orange colour that differentiates between a COPY-AND-DELETION (moving) and COPY (safe) is difficult to perceive for me. The X and C are two keys near eachother so when you thought that you merely copied files with Ctr+C you learn after a long time that in fact months ago you must have performed a copy and delection with Ctr+X move command. Long gone are the files from recyvle bin.
It would be very nice if there would be a choice to make the files/folder in COPY / MOVE stand out more by adding custom colours for when these two all important commands are called after selection.
The current sudden jump of selected files and folders to the right (left margin and left line) after a copy or move comman, makes my workflow very difficult, I much rather prefer the items not shifting at all, but to have the selection files' colours change from normal custom selection colour (in my case bright GREEN, safe, nothing happening) to bright SKYBLUE (for copy) or bright REDORANGE (copy-and-deletion or move warning danger ahead).
It would be best to just keep the files and folders neatly in the same place, but change the background colour of the entire selection line corresponding to the action chosen. I would like to set these three colours myself. The selection colour is already possible, which is just fabulous that I can set it! This alone is worth the full purchase price of a coffee, no a meal because programmers have to eat. But the other two colours I cannot set...
If changing this means the release of a new update to buy as an add on or even an entirely new version, I will think for one second and accept, be happy to buy a new version since this program means that much to me and I am using it that much every day with such joy, I am willing to show that I value the time of the programmers making such a timeless piece of logical artwork work so well in our lifetimes.
Thats it, thats all I wish for now. I have no further wishes.

File 2465871 Selected/copy/move: background colour custom own colour bright green, custom own light blue, custom own brightredorange

I want the selected files to have No left margin = 0px, No left border = 0px when selected, and stay perfectly aligned with rest of files and folders just as when they are selected, I want just the selection color to change, from green, to blue or red, and just highlighed through out the entire window width for both selection, copy and move. This way, relative to the surrounding filenames and folder names, after selection everying is still aligned and highly readable in comparison to the neighbouring file names!
I wish for three settings for the appearance of selected files and folders. In my case nice full width highlights:
- Custom colour for Selection (without any action): in my case bright light green
- Custom colour for Selection with Copy command: in my case bright skyblue (safe)
- Custom colour for Selection with Move command: in my case bright orangered (warning, deletion of source ahead)
Thank you and do not hesitate to bring out a Perpetual "Gold Version" with this feature added.
I will upgrade to show my support for continuation of this project and your time.
Attached: Here are the three states that I wish to see exactly and simply like this, without any horizontal indents or shifts during selections:
