Favorites - Set Highlight / Box Color?

Post by highend »

Hi,

when I first discovered / used these entries I thought they are some kind of shortcut to:
Configuration - Colors & Styles - Highlighted / Boxed Branch and that the redefined colors
would be stored when the config is saved in that session.

Is there a reason to redefine any of these colors for one XYplorer session / does anyone make use
of this feature?

Regards,
Highend

I use it to uniquely color three branches which are almost always identical to each other in structure/content.
I also have 'Config' > 'Colors & Styles' > 'Mirror tree box color in file list' enabled.

The combination causes the list's background color to be painted the same as the boxed branch thus making it a constant reminder which branch I'm in at a given time.
