Making view mode toggle show in status bar?

[ThioJoe]

I have a virtual machine where the Everything status bar has a toggle for the view mode (details vs thumbnail), but I can't remember how or if I did that. The toggle doesn't show up on my main machine. How do i get it to show?

It's an older version of the alpha, but I tried installing the same version in a sandbox and it still doesn't show up, so I assume it's just a setting. I tried looking but couldn't find it. I even tried diff'ing the ini files but there's too many for me to be able to tell.


EDIT: Ok I discovered apparently it's the statusbar_view option, but I already had that enabled, yet it doesn't show:

Everything uses the stock windows statusbar control by default for the light theme.

Everything with the stock windows statusbar control doesn't have support for the view buttons (details/thumbnails)

To force Everything to use a custom statusbar and show the view buttons in the light theme:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Fonts and colots tab on the left.
• Set Item to: Status Bar.
• Check Custom for Background color.
• Click OK.

I have put on my TODO list to make statusbar_view a 3 option setting:
false == don't show buttons
(use default) == show buttons for dark theme only
true == show buttons for light and dark theme.

Ah that was it! I never would have guessed that was the reason.

I have my windows theme switch between light and dark for day and night so I was getting.

A small note: Everything 1.5.0.1397a changes statusbar_view options to: (use default), true or false.

Setting to true will now show the details/thumbnail buttons in standard mode.
