Cannot see highlighted Tab (very well)

[brahman]

Hi,

I have many tabs opened. Under Win10 I have tremendous difficulty seeing which tab is highlighted.

The shading is just too little. Could you use the same shade you use for the highlighted drive also for the tabs to make it clear?

Else one could bolden the active tab font, but I think using a shade would be best.

Unfortunately this is due to the Windows 10 theme, which TC uses to draw the tabs.

Hi,

This is also a problem for me, wouldn't be possible to address this issue with the new "View Mode" feature. All I need would be to be able to assign a color/icon to the active Tab.

TIA

That's an interesting idea, I will consider it - but not via view modes, it needs to be a separate option.

Nice to hear that you could consider it, btw I use a lot the new view modes feature and I love it

Bye

For now it's just an ini file setting, please try it:
wincmd.ini
[Colors]
ActiveTabColor=RGB value

See the help, section 4b, part 2 for the calculation of the RGB value.

It is nice with the new ActiveTabColor setting, but it should be overruled by any color setting of the tab done by View modes

Thanks it works fine

PS :
If like me you use RedirectSection

wincmd.ini

...
[Colors]
RedirectSection=%COMMANDER_PATH%\apps\impomezia\colors\zaforas.ini
...

You need to copy the lines in the redirect file (zaforas.ini) in my case otherwise it will not work.

zaforas.ini

[ColorTheme]
Version=1.0
...

[Colors]
ActiveTabColor=4194368 <--------
...

hello,

I think it should be optional because in my case I prefer that it is not overruled.

I also think that it shouldn't be overruled.
