full-colored cursor shape ("inverted cursor" in TC) instead of transpar contour

Hi!

Is there any option to make the cursor in the active pane more clearly visible, as for instance in Total Commander ("inverted cursor" option)? It is quite hard every time to search the cursor in the pane with my eyes after my long time experience with Total Commander.

I've tried to find in MC some similar option, but had no success.

Thanks!

Not sure what you mean with inverted cursor. But you can customize all the colors under the color tab in Explorer Panel settings.

I suspect you run with commander styled setup since that are also what TC uses.
Then you need to change the background color for "Focus" item for files/folders. But before you can change the background color you need to enable
so that file/folder can have separate background colors.

Check the two checkboxes named "Use file specified background colors" and "use folder specified background colors"
Then customize the colors for "Focus" (do it both for files and folder) and uncheck the "use default background color" and click on the "Background Color" radio button. so that it switches over to background.. and then select wanted background color

Thank you, I've made these changes.

But than I could not find, how to fulfill the next steps:

It seems, that there is neither the option "use default background color" nor "Background Color" radio button at the [Color] tab of Explorer Pane. :-\


Anyway it seems at this stage, that MC has a similar "Inverter cursor" option, as in Total Commander. Could you please consider adding this functionality? Trust me, it is very, very, very convenient. Please see the attached screenshot from Total Commander settings and file panels.

it does not fit into my program architecture. I would collide with the customizations options.

I'm very sorry, but I can not see neither an option "use default background color" nor a radio button "Background Color" in this Colors tab of Explorer Pane dialog :-[
I suppose, that I might work with the wrong dialog. Could you please describe a bit more exactly, which way should I reach this dialog, which you mean?
