Indicate file under cursor even if window doesn't have focus

Post by *ZarkoM »

When one of the file list panes (left and right) loses focus there is no visual indication any more which file in that pane was under cursor until pane receives focus again. So, until pane gets focus again it is not possible to find out which wile will be selected (will be under cursor) when it will be under focus. If pane gets focus via mouse click, file under mouse cursor will be selected, but if pane gets focus via Alt+Tab, the cursor will be put to the same file which was under cursor before losing focus -- and this file shoud be somehow visual indicated also during the period when window/pane does not have focus -- for example with thin border around file or different background or similar.

That is already implemented...

Help:
InactiveFocus=0 Set to 1 or RGB value (see description of BackColor below) to show cursor in the target panel too. Accepts hex in form $BBGGRR.
Add $1000000 = dashes, $2000000=dashes/dots, $3000000=solid frame
So here are some different values you can try:
InactiveFocus=1
InactiveFocus=$0000FF
;InactiveFocus=$0000001
InactiveFocus=8388608
InactiveFocus=11504259
InactiveFocus=12164479

Thanks. Exactly this! I didn't know that functionality already exists.
