Quick search cursor color in dark mode almost invisible

Post by *Raymond »

If panel background is dark, when quick searching, the cursor become almost invisible.
Is there a workaround that helps?

Hmm, here the cursor in the file panel is the same when using Quick search and when not - also in dark mode.

What do you get with a fresh .ini file?

Actually, in my case, just deep blue background with yellow cursor color, it's not in dark mode.
When quick searching, the cursor line turn into dotted line and hard to pick it out among many very long file names.
I figure, under quick search, if the cursor line did not turn into dotted line, or it could be user-defined, that will help.

How about just using the "Use inverted cursor" option - it doesn't change during Quick search.

Or you could increase the extra vertical space between icons (in the Icons setting) - then the dotted line might be easier to see (but of course there will be fewer visible files in the pannel)

Thank you, petermad. "Use inverted cursor" option will do the trick.
The problem is still out there though if not using this option.

I'd appreciate it if there's a switch, which prevent the cursor line from turning into dotted line when using Quick search, in the future.
