Text and Background color for Open Tab text and Background

Post by lugosi »

Hello XYPlorer folks,
I am trying to change XYPlorer so that it makes the current tab that I am working with a different color and has a different text color so that it is easy to differentiate it. I go to Tools | Configuration | Colors & Styles and change the values (in the upper right of the form) for Tab Headers (Open Tab Text and Background). The values change in the form to look like what I want, but when I commit the changes, I dont get any change in XYPlorer. I am guessing that I probably have a setting somewhere else that is preventing this from working, but I cannot imagine what that setting might be.

Also, I noticed, when fiddling around with the same settings, that is I go to the button 'Reset Colors...' and select 'Reset Colors to Factory Defaults', the same 2 values that I mentioned above do not revert to factory default colors.

This makes me suspect that I have indeed found a bug, one that might even affect the first item in my message.

Thanks, as always, for your help. XYPlorer is such a wonderful product, words cannot even express........

I thought that I should add that I am using the portable version, just in case the code for the 2 versions is different.

Hi,

the background colors for tab headers only work in "XYplorer Classic" style (Configuration / Tabs / Visual Style).

I cannot confirm your bug. Works fine here.
