In Vista and Win7 -Explorer is only one "BreadcrumbBar" and it is shown in a shiny light blue, with another blue highlight when you hover over it.

Total Commander uses also another Breadcrumbbar in the inactive panel. As default, TC uses the Window-settings for "active window" and "inactive window". The above option was introduced, to be independent from the standard-windows-settings. One must edit the TC setting file manually, because there is no option dialog for it.


In contradiction to RGB-values, the Total Commander accept only BGR-values in the INI-file.
B = Blue
G = Green
R = Red

In Addition, hexadecimal values for the colors are OK, one can even mix both of the types.
The hexa code is indicated by a leading $



How are the color codes translated?
(Link: Translation from a German thread)

BGR, each color component can be selected from 0..255.
The decimal number is then calculated as
B*65536 + G*256 + R

The colors can be specified in hexadecimal as $bbggrr.
bb 00..FF blue component
gg 00..FF green content
rr 00..FF red component

I use a tool called "Color Cop", among it's Options, is Mode "Delphi Hex", or "Ctrl+D"
That displays a $BGR hex value, that TC will understand.

Or, here's a little script that will create that value for you, if you provide it RGB as either a single hex value or 3 decimal values:

eg: xRGBGR.cmd 106 53 46
or: xRGBGR.cmd #6A352E

Code: Select all

@ECHO OFF
IF NOT "%~3"=="" GOTO:RGB2BGR
SET iColor=%~1&CALL:RGB2BGR 0x%iColor:~1,2% 0x%iColor:~3,2% 0x%iColor:~5,2% 
GOTO:EOF

:RGB2BGR
SET /A cBLU=%~3 * 65536 
SET /A cGRN=%~2 * 256
SET /A cRED=%~1
SET /A outColor=cBLU + cGRN + cRED
ECHO iColor[DEC]: %outColor%
