TC 9.50b2 (dark mode): ColorFilterNNColorDark

[Max33Verstappen]

Last ColorFilter in darkmode always shown as color "0xFFFFFF"
In my case, my last ColorFilter is:

Code: Select all

ColorFilter6=>Temporary files
ColorFilter6Color=12500670
ColorFilter6ColorDark=4276545,12500670

It's shown as "pure white color" in dark mode. If I modify the "ColorFilter6ColorDark" to

Code: Select all

 ColorFilter6ColorDark=4276545

, problem gone.

Is it the same issue as in TC 9.50b1 (dark mode): ColorFilterNNColorDark or something else?

Confirmed, thanks! It happens when the text behind ColorFilter6ColorDark= is longer than 15 characters (length of the string variable, length limited). I will fix it. That second value is there to detect when an older TC version changed these color values without updating the colordark values.

Confirmed, thanks!

I am trying to define colors by file type in Dark mode (Using TC 9.5 Beta 2).
It works fine in normal mode, but in Dark Mode some colours are not displayed correctly (TC displays some neutral white color).

See the screenshot: http://www.meggamusic.co.uk/shup/1571774976/DarkMode_FileTypes.png

As you can see I defined 15 groups of filters
>RecentFiles
>AudioFiles
>VideoFiles
etc...
Only few of them displays correct colors (for example >AudioFiles (AUDIO.aac) or >ExecutableFiles (EXECUTABLE.exe))
for defined filters. Some filters works fine with one color and not with another (instead displays some random color -> see >TextFiles (TEXT.txt)).

What is going on?

Ps: What is "Dark <->Normal" button?

What is going on?

As ghisler(Author) already explains:
This happen if the string coded color values right of "ColorFilterNNColorDark=" exceeds 15 characters.
You may edit your wincmd.ini and replace the decimal numbers by hex number:
ColorFilterNNColorDark=16711680,16711680 -> ColorFilterNNColorDark=$FF0000,$FF0000 (untested, but should be max. 15 characters)
Hex format in Pascal:
$BBGGRR : where BB is the hex blue value, GG: hex green value, RR: hex red value

or wait for Beta3.

Ps: What is "Dark <->Normal" button?

Don't be afraid, just click it an you will see. It swaps background color in this window.

@HolgerK
Thanks. Now I see. He must read it as string, then split it and save as integer.
It seems I have to wait for another beta.

@Usher
Thanks for info. So this button just change the background to see how it looks

It's 2-in-1 feature
You can define best visible colors for 2 modes in 1 place.

Fixed in TC9.50 Beta 3
