Change colour of background behind the thumbnails

Is there any way to set the background colour of the window behind the thumbnails? I don't mean the thumbnails' background colour - I see the option for that, but the colour of the actual panel window?

You see, I set my thumbnails background to dark grey, but when I resize the thumbnails, if the list doesn't fit perfectly in my monitor, any leftover space that is not covered by thumbnails is white - and it annoys me greatly! Is there a way to set this colour? I can't find it in the settings.

Changing the background color of the thumbnail panel (Tools » Settings... » Browser » Thumbnail » Appearance » Thumbnail cell » Appearance » Background) doesn't take immediate effect behind/under the folders :bugconfirmed:

As a workaround, you can force MP to redraw the folder thumbnails by changing the thumbnail size (View » Thumbnail size...).

Oh, I was hoping that would have gotten fixed in the newer releases. I figured you might say something like that! Alas!

Say, I am just checking in to see if there could be an option for the default background colour behind the thumbnail-browser?

No. I guess it's not as easy to implement as I thought it would be.

Ah - that's not the same thing. I'm not looking to do anything with thumbnail backgrounds. I just want to change the window background colour itself from white to something else.

If I set my thumbnail background to gray and open a folder that has only two files in it, I get those files with gray backgrounds and the entire window is white behind. I want to make it gray like the thumbnail background.
See my image:
background is all white
background is all white

OK, now I get it. Thanks for the screenshot.

Go to View » Theme » Dark theme and replace all text in style_sheet_qss tab with…

Code: Select all

MyThumbListView {
background-color: rgb(143, 143, 143);
}

XnTriq:

Hey! It was THAT easy?

Why is it called "Dark Theme" and not "Custom Theme"?

THANK YOU!!!!! This is a dream come true for me!

Sorry for the misunderstanding :-|

I think it would be a good idea to have an “empty” theme called Custom.

I think it would be a good idea to have an “empty” theme called Custom.
An even greater idea would be to have a text or some form of helper like the "Insert >>" button which will have the most/all GUI objects/classes which the Program uses.
