Hmmm, never faced this problem since i dont have back color setup on color filters. But seems like there not way to set it back to original "No color" from the config window. If you are in a hurry Edit the config manually.
Look for the section "Color Filter" inside your ini file, it should look like this:

Code: Select all

[ColorFilter]
Count=11
1=+*.pdf>804000,
After the ">" first value is Text color, second value is Back color (not set in the above example). So remove anything after the comma to get back your transparent look.

@Don: Maybe a way to get back original "No color"?

Watch the tooltips on the buttons: "Hold CTRL to reset to default color" (which is "no color" for backcolor).

If you don't want to go through the INI file you can also remove the background color via "Tools | List Management | Color Filters...". Example:

Code: Select all

D:\*.exe>FF0000,00FF00
The second part (00FF00) should be removed to be transparent again.

Edit: Hold Ctrl in tooltip... now that's what i call a hidden feature :)

Aaha.. another little trick I've missed. :oops:
Edit: I would put this on "Tip of the Day": Keep an eye on tooltips!
