Background Color for Column Bar

Post by MikeHsiao »

Is there any way to change background color inside the red line below?
If not, could it add the function in next release?

Thanks!

But it's better if can set in preference directly.
And if the sorted column (ex. filename in this case) can be highlight (or different color) will be great.

You can highlight the sorted column list background color here if it helps:

Configuration | Colors and Styles | Colors | Sorted Column

I just want to highlight the column's header, not whole column.

I understand that, I was just mentioning an already available alternative.

I already found that. But it's not what I need.
So I made the wish, hope it can be added in the future.

Still thanks!

The hovered column header already gets a different color. To colorize the sorted column header as well would be rather confusing.

I also don't like the color too complicated.
Just a friend asked about this, so I want to know it can be done or not.

Cannot be done. As jupe already said, you can highlight the sorted column but not the header.

While reading the topic name i thought: how about giving bg-color to custom columns?(as a parameter, individual for each)

Well, I see that it could be useful. But OTOH there are so many color options in the same space (the list), opening yet another dimension would probably create more problems than solutions. So I'd rather keep it as it is here.
