770 display issues [edit: version number now correct]

[alf5000]

I change 3 settings in Details list (Ctrl+F2) and get this behavior:




1) switch to detail list view
2) untick 'Use Windows colors' (you might ask why I would want to do this. well, if I want to use NC-Mode I must untick this to get reasonable results)
3) untick 'Border only' at Focused item active list
4) set background color of Focused item active list to white



this is pretty much related to that topic, but I guess that one got partially fixed and is a bit hard to follow for new guests:

It is probably some display problem on Windows 7 only.
On Windows 10 all is clean.

Win10 acts differently, indeed - but not correctly.

1) win10, totally fresh fcxe_770
2) just untick 'Use windows colors' (don't untick Only borders)
3) click OK and everythings seems good
4) now focus another file in the file list (I just used the arrow button) --> colors are not as expected


NC-Mode colors are perfect on win10 and pretty much usable on win7.
I wanted to point out that the name column lacks that dotted border-line whereas all the other columns show a dotted border-line

If you start with fresh ini - than you mean default selection mode (as Windows Explorer).
If you have used in 4) arrow "down" or "up" than you have not focused other item but selected.
You must use Ctrl+Up or Ctrl+Down if you want to see focused item.
For me it is all ok.

thanks, for working on it

yes, you're correct: it's default selection mode (Windows mode)
(I prefer NC-mode but some versions ago there were changes in FCXE color handling and I had to find a solution and found some issues)

here my results from win10
watch the settings (background and border settings) carefully


result1: active list one file selected AND focused (for me it's strange, why blue and red mix?)


result2: active list multiple files selected (for me that's super strange, but it clearly shows that the name column is handled somehow differently. I suppose this difference in handling is also responsible for Win7 dotted-border issue)


of course I'd never use these color combinations, but they best show the inconsistency.

result1: active list one file selected AND focused (for me it's strange, why blue and red mix?)

Its not strange, you have defined such colors.
Try now with Ctrl+Up or Ctrl+Down move the focused item. You can see the red rectangle for focused item and the selected item have now color defined for selected items.
The border of the focused item has higher priority.

result2: active list multiple files selected (for me that's super strange, but it clearly shows that the name column is handled somehow differently. I suppose this difference in handling is also responsible for Win7 dotted-border issue)

The colors are ok. I think the vertical line after name column should be checked.

oh, my goodness!
now it's clear, @Karol taught me in another thread (http://forum.freecommander.com/viewtopi ... 459#p27070) that there is a color priority thing going on I was not aware of!

yes, the vertical line should be checked.

yes, and the dotted line issue in Win7 needs a closer look, IMO. - why is name column treated differently?
