acitive screen

Post by *roofit »

I find the colour difference between the active and the target screen is not great enough for me, and somehow I would prefer a better colour difference.

A separate but somewhat related issue, would be to have the option of having 4 windows, not just two. This would save having numerous Total Commanders opened and shuffling from one to the other. Here the active, target, and two sleeping windows would have to be identified better.

You can use these keys in the [Colors] section of your wincmd.ini file to set the colors for the active and inactive title bar.

ActiveTitleText=
ActiveTitle=
InactiveTitleText=
InactiveTitle=

the values are written as RGB:

red+256*green+65536*blue

each value in range 0..255 - so black is 0 and white is 16777215

Please take a look at the Help-file / F1. There is a fine description of the structure and the location of this important file.

I agree and suggest to developer(s) to introduce something more effective like dimming the inactive pane or using some kind of overlay. It is not cosmetics it is improving user experience.
