Label colors with Themes
Posted: Thu Sep 18, 2025 2:22 am
Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems like Label Colors don't really work with Themes well.
So XnViewMP has light and dark themes. That's great. It will also let you select foreground and background colors for labels based on file format. Also great.
But when you switch themes, the background color for the UI changes, obviously. And the colors defined in Label Colors just don't.
Which means if you switch themes, as you might for daytime or nighttime, your label colors look like trash.
Is there a way to set a transparent background color, or otherwise having the label colors adapt based on theme? Or define a 2nd set of colors per theme in the ini file or something?
If not, it would seem Label Colors are just not really compatible with switching themes, if you want things to look decent. Manually and individually changing the colors for 20 file formats any time you switch themes is not practical.
The user seems to be faced with a choice of either not using label colors, or never switching themes. Is there something I'm missing here?
Thanks...
