Splitter has 2 issues with utilizing Show The Popup Menu For Thumbnails button

#1 Post by Forez » 03.05.2024, 10:04

If you add to Splitter the Show the popup menu for thumbnails icon and click it, then the menu it evokes will show up not near it - but in the left top corner of active Panel and with default colors instead of the ones set-up by the user. The position of this menu will not change, but the correct colors will get to be applied when user activates the opposite Panel [which fix will lasts until the closing of FreeCommander session]

The first issue happens to me on both Build 906 64-bit Donor Portable and Build 900 32-bit Public Installed with default settings - but I reckon that it might have been a conscious choice by Marek. Nevertheless I would argue this menu to be shown next to the button, because the larger and higher resolution you use the more counterproductive this becomes

The second issue is just a plain bug; and for obvious reasons I tested it only with my personal settings [on portable version] and not with default ones

It seems to be changed in the current version 908.

Yes it works - but only for the new Color Schemes- provided by FreeCommander itself

So how can I jump-start my own personal old Color Scheme to use those dark colors that I do get to see in my Main Menu drop-down lists?
