Idea - Background colours

Post by *LTN »

Hi there,

I suggested many years ago this idea, but it has never been implemented. I would like to suggest it once more since it would be a great and simple (?) feature to put into TC.

I suggest that it should be possible to add a background colour to the windows for a corresponding "letter drive". It will be very useful especially when making backups. This way it could be visually easier not to mix up which drive that is the "master".

I have uploaded an example:

Otherwise thanx for a great program.
Best regards

With the TwinKey util you can define background color or picture
depending on certain conditions.
See the forum for it:

Very interesting :D

Spend some time looking at it, but it seems a bit complex after my opinion. I would really like if TC was able to do it directly. Right now it almost has the possibility through Config -> Options -> Colors. Here you can set a color to a file extension, so now it only misses the "folder" color possibility (incl. color for FTP (0:, 1: etc). :wink:

There are rumours that background color and/or picture will be the native TC feature in version 9
