Just installed your software. Don't know any basics. Tried fiddling with the settings, but no luck.

I want to:

• make the tree lines like this. Thicker than normal.

• enable preview image on hover

How to do that?

Not 100% sure what you mean by tree lines. Probably this: Configuration | Colors and Styles | Highlights & Dark Mode | Tree path tracing | Width of trace in pixels

Enable preview image on hover: Configuration | Information | File Info Tips & Hover Box | Show Hover Box

That worked for me. Thanks.

PS: Update this forum. Consider using Xenforo.

It worked for me also! I used the full 9 pixels available - as you can see on the left. Using 4K monitors really requires lines to be thicker.

Question: How can I change the rest of the lines in the Tree to become thicker? If they are at 3 now then I would try 7 first.

Why??
That's one of the worst looking forum interfaces I've seen in quite some time.

You didn't see the functionality (user-friendly) or good forum themes.

The rest of the lines? They are already 2 pixels thick at your screen resolution. That should be enough.

2 pixels now. I would like, at least, either 5 or 6 pixels.
In this sort of situation one wants to overshoot and then adjust inside a bracket. IMHO
Doing deletions or drag and drop critical decisions and moves are made. Until recently I have been blessed with 20/20 vision but I have made some really bad blunders - not reading the tree and lines correctly. When I make an error and then continue on - chances are excellent that there is NO GO BACK function available. I would carefully study the address line and depend on it before taking any action. A good tree and more distinct lines will be fare more efficient.
From you reply - can I assume there is no menu available to make adjustments? I, and many others, have lived for years without knowing how simple it is to change the tree pixels. To me it is a vast improvement THANKS.
A non black screen probably requires thicker lines. Please give it a go! 5 or 6 pixels

Sorry, but that's extreme. IMO the lines in your screenshot look perfectly normal. You won't find thicker tree lines anywhere in the world, will you?

What do you mean, the new Overall Spacing?

Overall Spacing? Context? As lines get thicker one may want to examine the spacing. I for one would not mind if more space is provided for the tree and thin lines readability. I nobody else is interested - just leave as is.

I am disappointed you are apparently unwilling to even test even 4 pixel lines.

How do you define the "pins" (on the config page)
