Fullscreen text info - free color

Post by Micha »

Hello,

could be nice to set a free color for the info text in fullscreen mode.

I would like, that path and name are shown very light only. For example I use a black background and can not set the text color at a very dark grey, so that the info is visible only, if the user direct look at it.

Thanks,
Micha

You can only set the basic 16 system color in the GUI, but in the ini or registry you can set anything you want, using the standard color codes. (Fullscreen->TextColor)

I can not find an ini file here and at the Windows registry I found no option.

:) Hello !

• Here, I've in my INI file (located in the folder of the programme) :
[FullScreen]
TextBackColor=0
TextColor=16777215
• You could have an INI file at the default location, it might be :
X:\Documents and Settings\Your_User_Name\Application Data\XnView\xnview.ini
Where “X:” is the letter of your boot-disk (i.e., here it's E:).
• You may use any colour-code now, for instance:
- Decimal with "complements" like shown above (good luck!)
- Decimal as RRR GGG BBB
- Hexa as #RRGGBB
- Inverted hexa as $BBGGRR

Ah, thanks Claude, I found it. :)

It's not easy to set, but I found a solution. If I set 077 077 077 than I don't get a grey, I get the last seted color and my ini value control the brightness. It's ok so.

I tested to use the hex code from Photoshop like this #de1818, but it dosn't work.

Best would be, if the UI could allow to set any color. :wink:
