User defined folder colors
Currently XnView displays folder thumbs with a yellowish ramp. Would it be possible for a user to declare two alternative colors for the ramp?
I have finally settled on an XnView color scheme I think I'll stick with for a while that uses shades of gray. A gray ramp in the folder thumbnails would look better than the garish yellow/orange/whatever colors that are the current XnView default for them.
Thanks for listening!

Hi Pierre...
Thank you so much for implementing this feature!
Just a tip to everyone. You must "Rebuild Thumbs" to see the new folder colors!
The components are:
FolderColor1: Color for top of ramp/fountain
FolderColor2: Color for bottom of ramp/fountain
FolderColor3: Outline
FolderColor4: Folder "tab" fill

Strange colours…
—> JohnFredC
Hello John !
• In order to update the Manual, I just made a test with these new entries, and I confess that it's not quite clear for me.
- Actually, I don't get the colours I stated which are :
- None is there on the 4-in-1 thumbnail…
- Does it need another writing style ? One more time, I would like that the inverted hexa code be supported
whether one must write the values of the colours as “complements”… Like in TC : $BBGGRR
Kind regards,
Claude

…And are shown on the (quick-made) pic below as the backgrounds of the corresponding digits…FolderColor1=220 249 63
FolderColor2=220 225 56
FolderColor3=0 0 160
FolderColor4=0 200 0

Hi Clo...
(I don't understand your posting.)
I entered a different representation for the colors:
FolderColor1=16777172
FolderColor2=14935011
FolderColor3=14935011
FolderColor4=16777172
...for which I used this tool to generate.

Syntax = incoherence
Hello John !
• But still it's pretty simple :
- While, on one hand, we can use the colour-code as direct decimal as shown above for all colours to set¦change in the INI,
like the colours per file-type and their backgrounds, on the other hand that's not supported for these ones !
- That's incoherent !
- The code made by the tool you link (thank you) is the damn “complements” sytem used in Win,
and that can be replaced easily with the inverted hexadecimal code $BBGGRR which doesn't need a tool to be written.
• However, I think that Pierre might change that in order to use the simple decimal code RRR GGG BBB everywhere,
currently this is totally confusing ! At the very outside, set the support for the inverted hexa code, like TC does…
That's all !

Boring calculation…

Hello !
• Out the forum, Pierre told me that he has to standardize the colour-codes used in the INI, to avoid a hitch like above…
- So, I hope it'll be fixed up in the 1.91.3 soon…
- Currently, for the entries we are talking of, one must use the method :
Good luck !

No !
The standard color code is the hexa (even for html) with few digits, it is better than the decimal code RRR GGG BBB ( RR GG BB in hexa code).
For me it's better to standardize all colors code in the ini file in hexa (maybe automatically with a batch, in a futur xnview version to keep users settings).
see here for exemple:

Standard for who? Decimal code has the advantage of requiring no expertise since it can be copied & pasted from existing color dialogs. No need to consult a webmasters' colour chart/calculator.oops66 wrote: The standard color code is the hexa (even for html) with few digits, it is better than the decimal code RRR GGG BBB ( RR GG BB in hexa code).
