Favorites tree text color issue in recent versions

Post by JohnFredC »

Can anyone help me correct the issue illustrated in the screenshot? Is the favorites tree picking up the folder tree text color? Thanks in advance!

"Edit Favorites" background Bug

Post by oops66 »

Hello JohnFredC,
Bug confirmed !
Yes, and in your case, this is a white text with a white background too ! LOL
The background for the "Edit Favorites" window should be the same as the tree panel (dark gray too). :bugconfirmed:

JohnFredC, what are your color-settings? It sure looks nice, I'd like a tree-structure with grey background too...

:) Hello John !

• There's no problem here, I get my custom colours from the INI entries alright for the tree,
Folders, Favourites and Categories :
TreeBackColor=255 255 222
TreeFontColor=60 0 0
TreeFontHiColor=180
TreeFontHiColor2=0 180 0
- Maybe are you using hexa code ? We had some issues with this in previous versions,
I didn't check yet… Decimal RGB is OK…

--> Clo,
Hello,
It is not about the Favorites panel but about the "Edit Favorites" window.

Here my tree colors:

TreeBackColor=71 71 71
TreeFontColor=244 244 244
TreeFontHiColor=0 0 0
TreeFontHiColor2=0 0 0

As oop66 said, apparently the TreeFontColor is used for the font color of the tree in the Edit Favorites dialog, but the TreeBackColor value is not used for the background color.

• Yes, it's right, here I've my Win default BG colour, but it's very close to the tree one (255 - 255 - 214 vs. 255 255 222),
hence hard to spot at first glance…

• I don't know whether that can be fixed since it's a dialogue-box,
it seems that the Win BG takes precedence in such a case…

Thank you Pierre. That fixed the text visability problem.

A folder icon background transparency issue still remains. It's purely a cosmetic problem, but the you can inspect the linked image in my original post to see it.

I'm running in 32bit color mode and the black backgrounds are visible in the Favorites dialog as well as in the MoveTo and CopyTo dialogs.

Yes, i have it, but it seems that it's a problem of windows API

As I recall.. the black icon backgrounds haven't always been there.

I could maybe scrap up an old version (1.84?) to verify that.

If you don't use background color, there is no problem...

Ahhh... I see.

But the background for those icons comes from... the TreeBackColor? Even though the tree background (in the dialogs) ignores TreeBackColor?

Or have I missed an INI setting that specifically addresses the colors of the dialog (only) trees...???

It seems to me that the proper implementation for the folder trees in those dialogs is either:

1. Completely implement the INI tree color settings for all components

or

2. Completely ignore the INI tree color settings for all components.

If you remove TreeBackColor from .ini, all must be correct.

Hmmm... well, I won't be doing that. I like my TreeBackColor.
