Problem with visibility of highlighted file names!

Problem with visibility of highlighted file names!
Everything sometimes highlights the selection in blue (good to see) and sometimes in light gray and I can't see anything.
How to set other highlight colors. I don't want this light gray color!

1.4 or 1.5?

1.5 ->

Tools | Options | General -> Fonts and Colors

I would think would handle it.

1.4, I wouldn't know?

Maybe Everything Options - 1.5.0.1373a (x64): Fonts and Colours > Item: Result List > Inactive Selected ...

If it is not the selection color, it might be the offline color.

Everything will render offline files with 50% transparency.

To render offline files normally:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Advanced tab on the left.
• To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
  offline
• Select: offline_alpha
• Set the value to: 255
• Click OK.

It doesn't work properly if there is a window on top of Everything 1.5 (e.g., Small Palyer 0.7.4 "Option -> On Top"), and then it goes from a blue highlight back to a light gray, almost invisible highlight.

Set the inactive selected background color under Tools -> Options -> Fonts and Colors -> Item = Result List > Inactive Selected

I configured it according to your tutorial, but I still have a gray highlight, for example, when I click another Small Player window or "Play Music", it still goes to a gray highlight in Everything.

I don't know, maybe it also affects some other Windows settings. Maybe "Theme?" I don't know much about it.

Code: Select all

It seems that this problem occurs in many applications, these few latest Windows 11 updates have ruined everything.
"Highlight Color Windows 11"
I really don't know how to change this.

My current settings in the registry. I did not change anything on my own.

What is an offline color?

What is an offline color?

Everything 1.5.0.1313a will now dim offline folders in the folder sidebar.

To customize the offline transparency:

• In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
  /offline_alpha=128
• If successful, offline_alpha=128 is shown in the status bar for a few seconds.
• where 128 is the transparency in the range from 0 (transparent) to 255 (opaque)

Example:

1. Everything Options - 1.5.0.1375a (x64)
2. Indexes > NTFS > Local NTFS volumes: NTFS-60 GB (G:) (Offline) ... this is an USB drive (currently offline!)
3. Everything Options Advanced > Show settings containing: offline_alpha
   Name: offline_alpha - Value: 128

If the USB stick has been unplugged, the search results for DRIVE G: will be GRAYED OUT (displayed dimmed) in Everything.

Please consider changing throughout the term

Code: Select all

to

Code: Select all

offline paths transparency

or even better to

Code: Select all

as it would be more self-explanatory the for all tired people who sometimes can't see the forest for the trees
