Total Commander

Generally, the title says it all.

I'm pretty sure this ain't no bug but rather a sort of disease of infancy (of the newly born feature), so I'm posting this here.
I would expect the left field without icons to be twice as narrower, e.g. aligned to the width of the history button itself.
Otherwise, everything looks good.
Thank you.

Have you looked at the directory hotlist (bookmarks)? That's a regular Windows context menu, and it uses the exact same gap.

It it perhaps because of the font / line height combination that it "feels" different. I have "same as menu font" and the history is much more compacted verses the hotlist - hotlist has more room between entries so it feel more natural.

I like the "highlight ✓" in the hotlist, is that something that could be added to the History as well which now only shows the ✓ for the current folder?

Edit: I just noticed the ✓ is also different, if you look at the ✓ in the history, do a right click you see a different ✓ in there for the "show most recent..." one for example. It is a bit jarring to see two different versions. I also like the standard ✓ better (the one in directory history and the selected option in the context menu).

I'm using the TEXTMETRICS of the font, with the fields tmHeight+tmExternalLeading for the height calculation. I don't know what the context menu uses, but it surely wastes a lot of space.
The ✓ is the same I use in the main menu. The context menu probably uses theming.

Re theming, probably so, the highlighted "row" color in the menu is also different between history/hotlist (dark blue v very light blue) - I can live with it.

So, if I understand correctly, this is just Windows theming shenanigans and nothing could be done here.
Still, thank you.
