Hi,

I'm still looking for a FileManager replacement and have narrowed my list to XYplorer, very appealing, but due to the 'messy' context menus have since reconsidered MC. As a start, would you mind pointing out how I would go about changing those colours you mention that aren't in the settings please. Which files need editing? If it isn't too much trouble, could you give some sort of guide as to what and how to edit? Or just something that might point me in the right direction.

Also, two other things from the list above:
1. Is it possible to create a script to show one pane on startup? I made a button to do this but would prefer it to be automatic.
2. My F/R for Open Bookmarks and Drives in new tab, is that currently achievable in some way? Preferably with mouse though! If not can a script be made to do this?

Are scripts difficult for those with zero programming ability to learn?

I think you've done a fantastic job with MC btw, great app!  ;)

Thanks for any help you can offer...

XY and MC are very different.  They have a very different approach to how they work.

Some of the standard panel colors can be overriden. Atleast part of it. problem is that some part can not be overriden so it does not look good.
Anyway create a regvalue value under MultiCommnder section in REG:\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MultiCommander\  with the name CustomPanelColor1 of type REG_SZ and insert color using HTML style.
Or for portable version add it to <mcinstall>\SessionConfig\Misc\MultiCommander.ini
Be aware. it looks ugly

1. Yes. Create a script that you autorun on startup..  (there are example somewhere on the forum..) But it is not recommended.
MC is designed around a dual panel solution and some things will not work or work strange running with one panel.
2. You can create command for opening any path in any tab.  and then you can assign those path to button/menu/quicklauchbar/alias
And you can also assign user created commands to mouse buttons.

The more simple CustomCommands scripts should be easy enough. They can only run 1 action per command. But you get
The more advanced and powerful MultiScript scripts require some programming understanding. and can be a bit hard without understanding programming
