[TC 10 b5 64 bit] some settings dialogs are scrambled in dark mode

[flurk]

examples :

- configuration - options - display - font : missing text : Image: https://ibb.co/3STL988
- configuration - options - operation - edit/view - configure internal viewer - general : scrambled : Image: https://ibb.co/jGZfjKp

the problem seems to disappear when switching off dark mode in options - color

notes :

- this was OK in beta 4
- as the first image shows, I don't use the default font settings ... maybe this has an influence on the problem ?

I also have the view as in your second picture for the lister only in TC 10.00b5 x64 in dark mode.
In TC 10.00b5 x86 the configuration menu is displayed properly.

I can also confirm your observations on image 1.

- as the first image shows, I don't use the default font settings ... maybe this has an influence on the problem ?

I think no, because I put the value 130 here.

I too have same display for image 2 on Windows 10, TC x64, and dark mode.

Which font size do you use?

[tuska]

Which font size do you use?

Code: Select all

Myriad Pro	Standard  10
Myriad Pro	Standard  10
Segoe UI	Standard   9

I'm currently working on a function to scale dialogs with the chosen font (not just via DPI override). Maybe it will help in your case.

[flurk]

My setup is
- 175 DPI (for good readability on a 4K monitor)
- file list : verdana 11
- main window : verdana 11
- dialog box : verdana 9

[ghisler(Author)]

Do you use 175 dpi in Total Commander only (Configuration - Options - Font), or system wide?

[flurk]

My system wide setting is "150% (recommended)" - this "recommended" was probably automatically set when installing windows 10 ?

Adding 175 dpi in Total Commander - configuration - options - font gave a perfect readability in Total Commander

To give you some more info, I used the system info window (commands - system information), and saw that it also has the same problem : Image: https://ibb.co/hgjN8pD

Many thanks for your work !

Very strange, it looks like a mix from the main window and a dialog box. So far I cannot reproduce it. Anyone else having this problem?

[tuska]

I also get the view of user flurk on tab "Hardware" at the first call with command cm_SysInfo in dark mode TC 10.00b5 x64.

If I then click on the tabs in this order, namely "Software" (view better), "Network" (view better),
"Hardware" --> then the view for tab "Hardware" is also better(!), but still not quite in order.

This problem does not exist in TC 10.00b5 x86!

I use win10 Home (x64) v20H2, Total Commander x64 dark mode. My display is 4k. Like flurk and tuska I get the same issue with lister-options-config using both my ini and a clean ini. On the cm_SysInfo with a clean ini the display is perfect for all tabs. Using my ini I experience the same as tuska. This is unique to x64 version of Total Commander.

I also can see parts of my previous screen when the display is not correct.

[ghisler(Author)]

I was finally able to reproduce it, and found a solution. Thanks for reporting it!

[tuska]

Thank you, cm_SysInfo is done -
but the font names and sizes are still missing (--> 1st picture in the first post) in TC 10.00b6 x64 dark mode.

[joe910]

Thanks, I concur with tuska about the font names and sizes. Other items are fixed.
