Customable setting colors

Post by *nrgpostsk »

Hi, Ghisler i cant find answer for my question.

Is possible change color of menu bar, icon bar and function keys independent from windows settings? In menu is possible change only main tab color and text. Not menu,icon,function keys bar.

I use TC on few computer and custom setting is for me high important.

For example i change XP style and customize color setting for TC looks what i want. But if i change this settings all others program looks bad and is unusable.

nr.1 on picture show Menu bar has no changed.
nr.2 on picture show LIST bar has no changed.
and arrow - is possible replace Shortcut from ICONbar to DISCbar?

Many thanks for your answer and time.

Have you tried setting 'Layout - Windows XP theme background (menu + all bars)'?

Anyway, you can't set colors for menu and bars background only for TC, it uses system settings.

No, unfortunately this isn't currently supported, sorry. The reason is that TC doesn't always use owner-drawn menus. For example, when you turn off icons in menus, TC uses the standard menu to make it more compatible with screen readers. The colors of the standard menu cannot be changed by programs.

Maybe via wincmd.ini - but it would only work with menu icons enabled.
