How to use different colors for tabs ?

[mohammadsj]

I'm using TC in Windows 11. The active and in-active tabs have almost the same color. It's hard to determine which tab is active, Please use a different color for active tab

You could go to Settings > Color

> there to the "Others" drop-down menu,
> click at "Lister"
> find 'Title bar \ Active side: Background' (or what you want to change) in the list

> and change the style to e.g. yellow

Open %commander_ini% and under [colors]section add the attribute

Code: Select all

ActiveTabColor=8388608

you will have a blue tab !
If you use ulta TC Configuration Editor, you can set it with a color picker (choose a darker color than the one expected)...

Thanks for help. Thanks you. It was a hack!

I'm not sure why it is gradient. Can I have Solid color? Is there any document for this feature. looks like it is undocumented.

All tab colors are gradient. I did try with solid colors and it looked absolutely horrible.

First, thanks for your post, it helped me figure out how to differentiate my tabs. I have a follow up question you may have a resolution for.


My active tab(s) have the proper color and work fine.. now when I add "View Mode" + a "Auto Switch Mode" that changes the tab (mine is based on the directory I am in.. as expected), that now supersedes the color set by the "ActiveTab" I have set in my ini. Is there a way to maybe prioritize the "ActiveTab" color OVER the "View Mode" + a "Auto Switch Mode" color setting?

Hmm here it is the opposite - the active tab always get the color from ActiveTabColor, and only non-active tabs get the color set by View Mode:
