[TC9rc1] Patially background colouring in tree view

[petermad]

If I set a custum vies mode manually with a different background color than the default then when switching for for example from full view to Tree view (Ctrl+F8) only the part of the file panel below the tree gets the background color.

To reproduce:
1. Be in the root of a drive in both panels.
2. Define a Custom View with a coloured background.
3. Press Ctrl+F2 for Full View.
4. Menu: Show -> Custom View Modes -> choose the View mode from step 1.
5. Press Ctrl+F8 for Tree View - only the part below the tree has coloured background.

18.10.16 Fixed: Switch from full view with custom view mode to tree -> custom background color remained below tree items (32/64)

Confirmed - But now the custom background color is simply just ignored in tree view - I would expect and prefer that the custom background color remained when switching to Tree view - since Tree view does support background color when set as the deafult color.

Switching between all other modes (Brief, Full, Thumbnail, Comments, Custom Columns, Quick, Branch, Listbox) does not change a background color set via Custom View Mode - so why shall the Tree View be different?

Not considered fixed yet...

Sorry but this is intentional. How would you apply a color to the tree? Depending on the directory the cursor stands on? That would be horrible. The tree doesn't have any base directory.

How would you apply a color to the tree

The same way as you apply it if you set the default background color in the Color options setup dialog. It is not that the tree cannot have a background color different from Windows standard.

But do you mean: "How would you apply an automatic View mode switch to a tree"? then I understand the question.

But I don't ask for a View mode Auto switch when entering the Tree view, I just ask to keep the View as it is (colorwise). Just as when I "Feed to listbox" after a search - in that case the background color is kept even though the Search result panel doesn't have a base directory either.

Sorry but it's still problematic, e.g. when you use automatic view mode changes and then switch to the tree. Also separate tree views don't support view modes, so I prefer to not support them in main panels either.
