XnView Software

I searched the forum before posting but this was the only topic returned and it referred to version 1.80.1: in the current release, 1.80.3, the text color options for thumbnail view are still not working (Browser | Thumbnail | Text colour and Text back colour). These also are the only options missing a checkbox, is that the reason? is a workaround available?

No it works, but you must disabled File List/Use colors

Er... thanks but it's disabled; the file and folder names are drawn in black whatever color I set in those options, either choosing the shadow options or the background/thumbnail color pair.

Wait... it does work indeed, but just for the thumbnail labels, which I never use, and not for file and folder names: if I choose a dark background together with a "light" Windows theme I cannot read file and folder names. I know I could enable the "Use color" setting you mentioned, but I believe it would be much better to set also those colors with the thumbnail options instead of leaving them with the OS-supplied setting.

Could you make a screenshot of your setting, so i'll check

Merci, Pierre.

With the options set as you can see in the picture below



I get the following, without any thumbnail label:



and the following, with a couple items for the label:



As you can see, even with both colors set for text and text background, the file and folder (here just ".." of course) names remain black, the settings apply only to the thumbnail labels. The Browser|File list|Use color checkbox is not checked.

Ok, i'll fix it

Thanks a lot!

after trying x-times to change the thumbnail-label-backgroundcolor i got also frustrated and wanted to post a bug report and i finally found this post that did the trick.
half an hour lost searching, this is very annoying, can you change this behaviour please for further users?
the label textcolor worked.
