Sudden change of color of the copy progress bar

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

Sudden change of color of the copy progress bar

Post by *funkymonk »

TC11.00b2 x32 dark @ Win10 and Win 11

Here is something that might be related to https://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=430281&hilit=progress#p430281:

I have set

Code: Select all

ProgressBarBottom=$000090
ShowProgressBarSpeed=1
NewStyleProgress=1
When copying, I sometime experience the following behavior:
- The overall progress bar starts with the default colors (green) and the default height.
- Only once the height is adapted it also switches to the color from the ini file.

As written in the other post, this looks quite strange -- actually it looks like a bug.

BTW: I have the impression that the effect shows particularly often when copying single lage files...

That's not the idea of ProgressBarBottom: It's meant to be used with third party themes to match the color of the default bar (which can't be changed, but also can't be retrieved from Windows).

Ah! This is the purpose of the setting?
That should at least be explained in the help...

I'm wondering is there isn't a better (automatic) way to adjust the colors of the progress bars to each other.
In any case, if the ini setting exists it should be applied immediately when the progress bar shows up and not only after some delay.

not only after some delay
The delay is there because TC has to receive data about the speed, and if those data is not provided the old style status bar is used.

Yes, I know. It still looks very strange. To me it looks like a bug.
