color of a typed text field

#1 Post by emoxam » 20.12.2013, 13:44

I can type some letters to move cursor on some folder, for example i type "mus" to move cursor to folder "music", so this field color is white, which is not a good one i guess, can i somehow change it's color at settings ?

Which version are you using? The color is NOT white when using quick find or quick search.

All color changes are in the settings, e.g.:

Settings > View > file/folder list > color/font

Do you mean the background color for that small field? It looks it not possible to change that color. It possible to change all other colors, status bar, quick filter field, but not that one.

I use a dark theme, and this is probably the only color which I can't change, so it would be nice to have the option for it.

Let me please mention expensive analog - total commander. There are no such field at all, while typing.
The other example, i can't remember where i saw it - this field is more colorful, so it's a brighter, noticeable.
I think more colorful example is more preferable.
What do you think ?

It's not easy to say what would be the best for default color, some users don't like too colorful fields, therefore it would be the best to add option - perhaps it might be shared with quick filter background color, before the new option will be added.

Why i am started this subject - first time i use quick search (let me name it so), i didn't see that field, so i didn't understand that i must press escape. I don't exactly remember what confused me, but something was there, so i looked for some field on the screen related to quick search and found that field. Maybe it just should be in a red frame (or square) ? Or let this text be red (in this field) ?
If i would encounter this confuse again i am surely tell you, but for now i just want to say that it's half-visible :)

Now I remember I had the same problem in the beginnings, so it's not a bad idea to do something, but I don't like the red color, it's too aggressive IMHO...

My suggestion is to use a negative color, so black background and white text, customizable, if possible.
