Unidentified color options [SOLVED]

Post by Thy Grand Voidinesss »

Under the

Tool > Options > Fonts and Colors > Item > Result List

users have access to a list of Item states. My questions about them are:

#1] What is the Drop Target (Highlighted) suppose to be? Function of Drop Target I understand and get to experience / see- but how is a path suppose to be somehow highlighted and under what circumstances?

#2] What is Hot and Hot Selected [and its derivatives]?

#3] What is affected by

Tool > Options > Fonts and Colors > Accent Color

other than apparently [non existing Items] Row Mouseover Selected and Row Mouseover Selected (Highlighted) - by extension of that Accent being the color of outline of the focused / selected row and a color overlayed [in a translucent way] all over this one special row?

Everything uses the Drop Target color on folders (or zip files) when you are currently dragging items over the top of them.
It is normally the same color as the selected color.

The (Highlighted) option is for text that matches your search.
It has nothing to do with the drop target.
All color options have a (Highlighted) variant.


#2] What is Hot and Hot Selected [and its derivatives]?
For single click open.
Everything will use this color when you hover over an item.


#3] What is affected by

Tool > Options > Fonts and Colors > Accent Color
The focused item or the item under the mouse cursor.

I will consider a selected mouse over state for color customization.
Currently, the selected mouse over color cannot be changed. Everything will just blend the selected color with the accent color.

Thank you for the info

I have used it for this new even broader topic viewtopic.php?t=14910, where I continue issues with Drop Target (Highlighted) and Accent Color
