File under cursor on inactive panel

[ghisler(Author)]

Yes it will, but I cannot promise anything because the list is so huge.

Thank you very much, that's enough!

When changing panels, its a pain that I loose where the cursor is in the inactive panel.
I use cursor=green since 1995.
I would love it if inactive panel cursor = gray.

TWinKey can indicate file in the inactive panel by: 1) color; 2) mark style; 3) filling.
The latest version is here

04.11.11 Release Total Commander 8.0 public beta 8 (32/64)

03.11.11 Added: (experimental): InactiveFocus=1: Use a different pattern and brightness from the normal focus rectangle to distinguish it easily (32/64)

InactiveFocus=0
Set to 1 or RGB value (see description of BackColor below) to show cursor in the target panel too. Accepts hex in form $BBGGRR.
Add $1000000 = dashes, $2000000=dashes/dots, $3000000=solid frame

I hope everybody knows it already. TWinKey has visual setting rather than textual that is much better. Moreover, gradient filling is not available in TC

[Ambaquista]

In [Configuration]:
InactiveFocus=#FF0000
nor
InactiveFocus=#FF0000 $3000000
not working!
Wrong section of wincmd.ini?

[HolgerK]

InactiveFocus=$FF0000
or
InactiveFocus=$3FF0000

?

It looks like default suggested value for dashes/dots (InactiveFocus=$2000000) is not compatible with dark mode if gray color is used as a background 2 for it. My color settings:

Code: Select all

[ColorsDark]
InverseCursor=0
ThemedCursor=1
InverseSelection=0
BackColor=-1
BackColor2=131586
ForeColor=-1
MarkColor=-1
CursorColor=-1
CursorText=-1

[Colors]
InverseCursor=0
InverseSelection=1
BackColor=-1
ForeColor=-1
MarkColor=-1
CursorColor=-1
CursorText=-1
BackColor2=15461355
ThemedCursor=1

If Cursor is on a black cell, it is completely invisible.

Also currently there is an issue with inactive cursor if TC window is not active: InactiveFocus setting then is used for both panels.
I suggest to introduce additional parameter like BackgroundActiveFocus to set a separate file cursor for active panel of not active TC window.

It's probably using standard selection cursor colors, which is black.
