[solved, manually change activetabcolor ini item]Change the color of tab default view mode

Post by *dindog »

i didn't use view mode tab color, but i found the gradient effect of custom color look much much more better than the defualt unchangable single color tab... i want my active have a colored gradient tab. please make the default view color changable.

e.g. which tab is the active tab?

You can actually change the active tab color in
Configuration - Options - Color - Other - Dark mode - Highlight

Make sure to also change the active panel title color, because it uses the same highlight color by default.

i knew, but i mean the gradient color.
if i set it to red, it is too "red". why can't default view have the better looking color?

Try add the setting ActiveTabColor in colorsdark section? Maybe it's your want.

The setting can't config directly, you need add to your ini manually.
(you can find the setting in help file)

I just experimented the setting ActiveTabColor directly in [color] section, to have it working in normal mode. It works... but a question : How do you prevent the color from fading in order to keep it solid?

Sorry, you can't make it solid. It looked very bad when I tried it.

04.10.22 Release Total Commander 10.52 release candidate 1 (RC1)
28.09.22 Added: wincmd.ini [Configuration] TabFullColor=0 choose whether tab header colors defined via view modes are displayed as a gradient (value=0) or a fixed blend percentage of 1 to 100% (32/64)
TabFullColor=100 looks very nice if I do say so myself :D

It's not fully solved yet. What about -1 for reverse gradient?

Add TabFullColor=-1 for reverse gradient on tabs.
