coloring rules and selection colors
« on: November 29, 2024, 12:25:02 »
Hi Mathias,

I understand that the background color of coloring rules competes with the background color of selected items.
Even though, it would be nice if both background colors could somehow be visible in such a case, I do understand if you do not go for such a solution.

However, I am not sure why the text color of the coloring rules gets overwritten by the defined text color of selected items.
I would wish that the text color of coloring rules will always be stronger than any other definded text color.

regards, m.

If you uncheck "Use file specified background colors" (and for folders) then the background color for each state is not used.

Selection color overwrite the color for rules. else you might not see if an item is selected or not.

As I already wrote in the first post, I do understand that regarding the BG color.
However, at least the TEXT color could be taken from the coloring rules.
Anyway, I sense that you don't want to do it. At least, I asked. Case closed.

Sorry. I don't agree,  Color rules are the default colors and the selection color should overrule that.
For example in command styled mode (That are the preferred mode) you have by default not even a background color for item items. You only see if an item is selected by the text color.
And then you will not be able to see if items are selected or not.
