Colouring of items in focus
DrVolodya:
I've read a few posts here on how it is supposed to work, but whatever I do I cannot make changes to the way items in focus (or selected or both) are coloured. The are always in red with default background. What I'm trying to get is a highlighting using darker background. Everything else in colours seem to work as expected (i.e. colour rules etc) including backgrounds.
I'm attaching a screenshot of what I'm trying to set up.
Great file manager though! Thanks.
Using v4.1 build 1620 64bit portable on W7x64

Have you enable top level background settings ?
[.] Override standard Windows Background
This need to be enabled for any subsettings under it to also be active

I had tried this before, but just to be sure did it again now and restarted the MC and still nothing. I thought this setting (override w background was for the panel background?
DrVolodya:
this is what I'm using in the Total Commander and what I'd like to set up in MC

It is very strange.. It works for me when I tries it.
(I was wrong about the "Override standard windows background" it does not need to be enabled.)
I enable "Use file specified background color", Then edit the color for focus and uncheck "Use default background color" and change the background.. Then OK.
then apply on the setting panel.
And now the color is changed.
Maybe it fails to save the config (Maybe you do not have permissions)
Press Ctrl+L and look at the bottom of the application log see if there is an error about not able to save. (It should show a dialog about that also , but maybe not )
Can you change other settings/color in the settings panel ?
