Xyplorer MUST have these

Post by jmarch777 »

Hi Staff...

These I believe are a must have for this product.

1. Double click on blank area of desktop to open the XYplorer (Directory Opus has this)

2. Need to have text under the Icons in ToolBar.

3. In a dual pane environment, the side that is active needs to have a different color

4.A too bar that shows all the drives

Thanks

Hi,

1. is a system feature, not software feature (you can do that by editing the registry)
2. no space
3. huh? this is already there
4. there's a dropdown from the "drives" toolbar button

welcome,
Don

Hi and welcome to the XY forums!

Having said that, I'll follow-up with the usual comment that making a first post with a demand and list like this that isn't fully researched doesn't quite make a good first impression here, at least to some of us forum regulars, ok?

Now as Don stated, item #3 is already available, though it's done somewhat via the inverse, whereby the inactive pane color can be defined since the primary/active pane colors were always customizable before dual pane was added.

And for item #2: Since there are info tips that show on hover, text isn't needed and just takes up extra room as Don said...and most icons are self-explanatory anyway.
Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!

That sound great. Could you give me a pointer as to where I can configure this? Did not find anything by googling.

Sorry for being late: The answer is "no", but if you have an app that can do this you could look into the registry to find out how it is done.
