Background color and selection in Explorer and tree structure Win 11, 10, 8.1, ...!


Especially under Windows 11, 10, 8.1 and 7, there is currently a problem with the background color and the selection in Explorer and tree structure!




If you like to work in the Explorer views and the directory structure, you will see that the color of the selected objects is difficult to read in case of a dark background. Here is an open task that I have to solve at times. At the moment it is still possible to make this legible with a gimmick in the quad-explorer.

Questions for this:
  1. I have selected the black color (#000000) The background color of the selected file is displayed dark blue and as such it is hard to distinguish the selection. Is it possible to select a different background color for the selection?
  2. I've been looking for a way to change the highlight color when: selecting a file/folder, the highlight color when searching/filters?
  3. As in the attached picture, with a white background of the window, the selected line is marked light blue. Can I as user determine this color myself or is this programmed in? I ask, because I like to set the background to a gray (eye problems and there is too white) ... a selected line in light blue but not in a gray background is visible.?
  4. I have the latest version. I changed the colors a bit to support my own dark "theme" However, I could not understand how to change the color of the selection bar (not row) Currently it is dark blue over black panel/row?
  5. I have selected Q-Dir colour & design -#000000, but the only issue is that when you choose the folder in the tree, the name is completely black which means you cannot really read which folder it is. Can this be changed?
  6. Great software. How do I change the color of the highlighted (currently selected items). I have a black active background and a grey inactive background , but its hard to see what I have selected or whats selected from searches.
  7. Now I'm trying a darker BG color scheme, but the highlight color when selecting a file stays the same: dark blue. It's workable, but pretty hard to see against the almost black BG color. Can I change the highlight color? Thank you!?
  8. By choosing the black colour theme, or theme #000000, the folder selected in the tree structure is no longer visible because the font colour is also black, which is not readable. Do you have the possibility to make a dark theme identical to the one of windows 10 ?
  9. Disable Transparent selection q-dir?
  10. Did I miss it or can't I change the color of the highlight bar in the file list? Since I have chosen a relatively dark background, I can barely see the bar and would like to make it lighter.
