feature requ.: define background colors by file type

[ghisler(Author)]

In principle, a grid would be no problem - I do draw lines when using the duplicate file finder and feed to listbox. However, I want to avoid the vertical lines, because they would restrict the space where the file name etc. can be shown - so the space would be used far worse than it is now.

Please tell me who's AFAIK

That's a joke, right?

AFAIK = As Far As I Know

Not really. I did know that it isn't someone but I didn't what it means.

Thanks

I think we could also have ellipses or filled polygons instead of filenames if Christian wanted to. So I think defining a custom background is technically possible.
If it works the way I think it does.

You are right. Christian uses some TListBox for files panel, and he just needs to add to this Listbox coloring of background for each item (e.g., in OnOwnerDraw event)

¤ I didn't think that isn't possible, but only: "Does Ch. Ghisler want to implement this, while he's not in favour of a grid" ...

No, he don't need grid.
Just to add coloring of items background.
It's possible for his TListbox, because selected item(under cursor) is colored with background color ("Interted cursor" is checked).
