How to make Cursor visible when TC is in background?

Post by *frankk_ »

Is there any way to make cursor visible, when TC is out of focus? Now, every time i click on desktop, or on other program window, i cant see anymore which file in TC is selected. It works when i select files with RMB but for normal selection i cant find a way to make it visible and stay that way. It works beautifully with Double Commander, so im positive thats possible...

If you put:

Code: Select all

InactiveFocus=1
in the [Configuration] section of your wincmd.ini file and restart TC, you will see a dashed line around the file in both panels, when out of focus.

You can also change color and appearance of the line:
Help wrote: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
