Dynamic background color

[Zox]

Hello community

Is there a way to set TCMD, so it has different background color in the file panels view when running as administrator, as opposed to when running as limited user.

On Windows 7, you can select to run an application as administrator, via the context menu in the start menu. Occasionally I need this, but then forget to stop Tcmd, but keep it running for a longer time.

So therefore my question.

Yes. You can achieve this by

1. open wincmd.ini

In the section [colors] place

Code: Select all

[Colors]
RedirectSection=%COMMANDER_PATH%\wincmd_colors_%SESSIONNAME%.INI

2. Create normal user file

wincmd_colors_%sessionname%.ini

and place the following text

Code: Select all

[colors]
InverseCursor=0
InverseSelection=1
BackColor=10198015
BackColor2=6974207
ForeColor=-1
MarkColor=-1
CursorColor=-1
CursorText=-1
ActiveTitleText=0
ActiveTitle=39168

3. Create file for Administrator

Code: Select all

[colors]
ActiveTitle=1420317
InactiveTitleText=5525059
InverseCursor=0
InverseSelection=1
BackColor=-1
BackColor2=-1
ForeColor=-1
MarkColor=-1
CursorColor=255
CursorText=16777215

Restart TC.

Works great for me


Optionally you can put a "TC As Administrator button in your Buttonbar if you dont already have it

copy + paste the following onto your Button bar

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
*%COMMANDER_EXE%
%Z/N %X"%P" "%T"
%COMMANDER_PATH%\TCMDX64.EXE
Start TotalCommander as ADMIN with current DIRs
