XnView Software

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!

Any hope for this request being implemented? Please?

Ok, i'll try to add specific entries in .ini

That's great! Thanks!

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

There is a small display bug with the folder colors: the lines on the sides of the folder do not get the new color (FolderColor3).

Right, i'll add FolderColor5 for this border!

Hi Pierre...

Another color probably isn't necessary... can't you just map it to FolderColor3?

Original picture use another color for this border

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 :

FolderColor1=220 249 63
FolderColor2=220 225 56
FolderColor3=0 0 160
FolderColor4=0 200 0

…And are shown on the (quick-made) pic below as the backgrounds of the corresponding digits…

   

- 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

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.

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 !

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.
