Re: TC 9.5b6 - Color examples in configuration hard to read and not conformed with chosen font

Please send me your ini settings to support at ghisler dot com.
No need to - I can reproduce it with a clean ini file.

With the "Synchroinize directories: Selection background" set to "Default", TC uses the systems Hilight color setting wich at my system is::

Code: Select all

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors]
"Hilight"="0 0 128"
But if you set "Synchronize directories: Selection background" to rgb 0 0 128, you will see the same.

the text color for "Selection - background" for equal files [=] is not shown correct - see: https://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/syncdircolorspreview.png - where the text should have been white.
Still present in TC 9.5b9 :(

Reproduceable with clean ini file and [Colors] SyncSelBack=8388608 (dark blue - rgb 0 0 128)

Not quite. In the preview the text in the cursor frame is positioned 1 pixel higher, than in the actual TC panel.
It's most noticable on the capital letters ("C" in "Cursor", for example): in file panel they are centered within the cursor frame, while in preview they are visibly closer to the top border.
It is only the text in the "Cursor" and the "Selected+Cursor" that is placed 1 pixel higher - the other 4 examples are placed 1 pixel lower than in the file panel - https://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/colorverticalalign.png

I don't care, this is just a color preview.
If it is easy fixable (at least for default DPI settin) I think it should be fixed.

It's not so easy - I use "centered vertically" there. The display in the main window is different because it also shows icons.

history.txt:
13.12.19 Fixed: Configuration - Options - Color - Preview: Synchronize dirs preview wrong (e.g. black on dark background) for selected equal files (32/64)
and:
22.12.19 Fixed: Configuration - Options - Color, Windows 7, default theme: Preview of synchronize dirs selection text color for equal items was wrong, should be white on blue (32/64)
Arent these two about the same bug?

The bugfix on 22.12. is a special case of the bugfix on 13.12. which wasn't fixed in the first bugfix. The special case only occurs with the unchanged selection color on Windows 7, which is different from the one on Windows 10. The foreground color was still incorrect in this case.

Is there any reason for the display of the "Cursor" and "Selected +Cursor" bars being 2 pixels lower than the "Selected" and "Text" bars with default DPI/font setting - themed cursor and/or inverted cursor?

Se: https://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/colorbarheights.png

Notice the gray top and bottom edge for the "Selected +Cursor" bar - In the actual file panels the cursor always takes the full height of the row.

I have checked it - the first 4 use bottom alignment, the last 2 use top alignment - strange.
Which one is better?

Bottom alignment, I think - but still, why is the height of the two selected cursor-bars not the same height as the row itself
