Change individual colors for columns

Post by *kms820619 »

It would be handy if we could change individual colors for the columns.

In the meantime, many users have made feature requests, but isn't it time to improve it?

Is it a lot of trouble to add the ability to change individual colors for a column?

I hope it can be improved.

Currently I don't see any way to do this.
Personaly I don't see any reason for such a feature.

Personally I would use different colors for custom columns provided by different plugins. Some of them may even have the same name but different content.

+1 for possibility to change colors for different columns.
Like in Double Commander you can set the color and font name/type/size for e.g. the file date/time or the file attributes. Very nice.

It would be a nice feature, but I don't think it is feasible with the Listbox control TC uses in the file panels.

It would be possible, but it would look horrible. You shouldn't use more than 2 fonts on one page...

This is not about fonts but about (background)colors...

TC uses background colors for view modes, and foreground colors for per file attributes.

And if you put a translucent background on top (under the text, of course)?
Overquoting is evil! 👎
