Issues with custom color theme and use of the tree

[wanderer]

I'm using a custom color theme, which has a navy blue background. I'm mostly happy with, until today when i decided to use the tree (which i seldomly use). The results can be seen here.

There are now two questions:

• In point (1) of the image, a black arrow appears (barely visible). Can its color be changed?
• In point (2) of the image, the treelines appear in a light blue color. Although it is visible, can it be changed?

When i say "can it be changed" i mean by the user, because in TC's Config/Color options, i couldn't find anything related to the tree.

Try and experiment with these settings in [ColorsDark] - for example:
TreeLineColor=-1
TreeTriangles=0

TreeLineColor=-1 Sets the color of the connecting lines in the tree inside of the file panels, the separate trees, the Alt+F10 tree dialog, and the FTP connect dialog. Values: rgb-value, or -1=default, or -2= invisible
TreeTriangles=-1 Icons to expand/collapse tree:
0: Show [+]
1: Show triangle if supported
-1: Let TC decide

@wanderer: if it has not happend for you try setting TreeTriangles to 0, it doesnt change the color but you get a better visible sign
([+] and [-])

@petermad:
Writting TreeLineColor into the ini changes the setting TreeTriangles from 1 to 0. Is that supposed to happen?
Anyway changing the TreeLineColor makes me wonder how do I change the background for the FTP-Connections-Dialog
or the Alt+F10-Dialog?

Writting TreeLineColor into the ini changes the setting TreeTriangles from 1 to 0.

I think that is a feature, besause if you set for example TreeLineColor=0 and TreeTriangles=1 the triangles looks very bad. TreeTriangles=1 works best with TreeLineColor=-1 (or not present)

Personally I use:

Code: Select all

[Colors]
TreeLineColor=0
TreeTriangles=0

[ColorsDark]
TreeLineColor=-1
TreeTriangles=0

[wanderer]

I ended up choosing the following:

Code: Select all

[Colors]
TreeLineColor=8421504
TreeTriangles=0

Thanks for the help.

The tree triangles are drawn by the Windows theme manager, so their color can't be changed. That's why they should be turned off for a custom line color.
