Feature Suggestion: The folder background appears as a picture.
In Windows XP system, you can set the background picture for the folder by setting the IconArea_Image value in the desktop.ini, but the system after Windows XP does not support customized background picture. Currently, many file managers do not read the IconArea_Image value of the desktop.ini and display the background picture in the list background of the software interface, which is very practical and cool,Can Total Commander add this function?

Sorry, the software name is entered incorrectly.

1. Desktop.ini method of setting a picture as a panel background is not supported by TC - neither as a built-in feature nor with help of plugins/addons.xh5x74pul83O wrote: ↑2021-08-29, 01:42 UTCread the IconArea_Image value of the desktop.ini and display the background picture in the list background of the software interface, which is very practical and cool,Can Total Commander add this function?
2. As of 2017, any kind of picture background for folders was not planned:

3. There is a possibility to set per-folder background pictures for Total Commander panels with TWinKey plugin which uses own autoswitch rules instead of desktop.ini. Part of TWinKey.ini with a rule to show a picture in listed folders if picture file with certain defined name present in mentioned folder (in sample below dir and its subdir defined as folders where background picture will be shown if its file is available in respective folders):
Code: Select all
[Config]
AutoView=1
[AutoView]
MyViewModeWithBackgroundPicture=?c:\dirwithpic|?c:\dirwithpic\subdirwithpic
[MyViewModeWithBackgroundPicture]
Active=1
Sort=0
BkgPic=.\PictureName.jpg
FileGroupping=0
FileGroupping2=30534884
Code: Select all
