[REQ] compare by contents - allow user to set bg color
It would be nice to set the background color for differences in the compared files. The standard white background is not enough of an indicator for me.
PS: Is it already possible? I have missed quite a few options in the past...

That must Christian have had foreseen :
Configuration->options->Color:Combox "others": Compare by Content:
"Differences - text mode"
"Differences - text mode (selected)"
"Differences - binary mode"
"Differences - binary mode (selected)"

Hi All,
I am color-challenged and really need to have a different background color for the "differences" text. That can't really be very hard to do.
Maybe somebody knows a "hack" to "fix" this?

Just Do It
Yep, there is a hack, it's called WinMerge:
http://winmerge.sourceforge.net/
You can integrate it as a compare tool in TC, by creating a button or by editing wincmd.ini:
Other workarounds aren't available.

Do you know if is it possible to redefine hotkeys in WinMerge ?, thanks.icfu wrote:Yep, there is a hack, it's called WinMerge:

Not that I know of. But you can, as always, use AHK and create own hotkeys.
This would send Ctrl+f when Alt+F7 is pressed and Ctrl+Y when Ctrl+Shift+Z is pressed:

If, in case of tabs, only the real character is marked (not the expanded additional tabs),
this would help to see these white space differences, too.
Who the hell is General Failure, and why is he reading my disk?

I have also requested to give color to background in file compare function in the past HERE but never received a reply from Christian

Unfortunately I am semi colour-blindness. I can't see compaction when only text colour change. I really need to set bg colour, because it helps me to see differences.
Thanks for understanding.

Thanks for using the search before posting - but this topic is from 2005: 6.5 years old. Even the last posting is nearly 4 years old.
That must be a world record for bumping the oldest topic.
Link: Style of cursor and selection - why they are exclusive??
Here I have made the suggestion that TC needs a color-selection-tool with two panels. A lot of problems could be solved with that.
It gives you a "on the fly-overview" for the active and the inactive panel. You can show your support in this topic.
I don't believe that you are the only color-blind person who need a color-theme for the "file compare tool".
Just open another topic and ask other colorblind users to share their color-settings with you.

You can try out TC UP (Total Commander Ultima Prime), which employs TC as its core program but with additional features.Charla wrote:Unfortunately I am semi colour-blindness. I can't see compaction when only text colour change. I really need to set bg colour, because it helps me to see differences.
