Hi Apophus
Sorry for this late reply, took me a while to discover how to fix this.
Seems the hex viewer is disabled by default on my configuration(theme).
To enable it please do the following:
Go Directory Opus preferences.
Under "Viewer" section click "Viewer plugins"
Click on "text", then click on "configure.
A small window will pop up with a check box "Enable Hex (binary) Viewer"
Tick on this check box and then click "Ok"
Done...
I'll be sure to fix this in my next release.
Hi Kingofdaclick
I really congratulate your efforts as regards this excellent theme pack. You must have been with Dopus since Amiga days to have such proficiency.
Transformatory and simply bloody brilliant.
Huge thanks.

Nice contribution, thanks for your work. In the screenshot at the beginning of this thread I see a black theme with what looks like a black lister background. I've got the black toolbars but can't find a theme/option for a black lister. Is there a trick to do this?
Hi Ray
By "Black lister background" I'm assuming you mean the title bar which isn't a directory opus feature, its a windows thing.
Windows 10 didn't initially come with the option of changing the color of the title bar, but now you can (you'll need to update windows 10 if you can't do the below)
To change it.
Click on the start menu, go "settings" then go "Personalization"
under "Colors", turn on "Show Color on title bar".
(Please note that this is linked to Start Menu's Live Tiles coloring)
On another note, from your picture i noticed your "styles" options has an annoying White button that should be transparent (where it shows "Single,Transfer,Misc Viewer"). to make this transparent In directory opus go:
"Setting" - "Preferences" - "Colors and Font's" - "Folder Tabs".
uncheck "use system colors" then
Make selected and Unselected Text = White
Make selected and Unselected Background = Black
Hello there.
I am trying out KODL themes and have installed it OK but when I click on the COLOUR icon @ top right nothing changes even though when I go to the Setting/Toolbars the colour I selected is correct.
Please, can you help me? I just love the theme.
Kind regards
Richard
I ask this because I have been using this theme for a long time and really like it a lot but today I just found out that the toolbar seems to be from a very old version of dopus, where for instance on the settings drop down menu the customize button is now labelled customize toolbars and has been for a long time.
It's not that I am bothered about this just wondering if there are any other more recent features that somehow are not enabled or working with this theme ?
And is there a way to install the theme without the icons ?
Or maybe reduce the size of the big icons ?
Hi Hydrops
Thanks for bringing this to my attention, i hadn't noticed this myself.
I have just updated KODC theme and it now Includes the DO 12 menu.
In regards to whether this theme has kept up to date with everything...
To be honest have tried but can't say for certain if it everything is fully integrated into KODC. Please let me know if any features are missing and I'll update it as soon as i am able to.
In regards to reducing the size of icons
Go into Customize mode (right clicking on a toolbar)
Under "Image Size" - Choose "Small"
Also you can also do the following
On menu Click "Settings", go "Preferences"
Under "Toolbars" - "Appearance"
Play around with
"Horizontal/Vertical button spacing" settings.
Like I said it doesn't really matter that much to me Opus is fine as it is for me, I just asked because I was not sure if installing your theme was reverting my opus to an older version, which I for obvious reasons would prefer not to happen.
Regarding this theme can you please help me ?
If you check the screen I had customized the theme quite a bit I want to do it again but have forgotten how I did it.
for instance how can I add a folder to favorites and make it appear on the left sidebar ?
And how can I add the line divider like I have in the sidebars ?
Regarding the theme variations if I edit one theme and change it to a different color whatever customization I did won't appear on the new color bar right ? is there a way to change this ?
Thank you very much this theme is really good, I especially like the dark mode.
HI Hydrops
Regarding your questions how can I add a folder to favorites and make it appear on the left sidebar ?
Are you using the favorites button? if so, first go to a folder you want to add to it, Then simply click on the "favorites" button and click "Add to Favorites".
To move it to left Sidebar. simply right click on toolbar, go "customize" then drag the favorites button to the left Sidebar.
And how can I add the line divider like I have in the sidebars?
Right click on a toolbar - Click "Customize" - then right click on the button where you want to add the line divider and click "Begin new group".
Regarding the theme variations if I edit one theme and change it to a different color whatever customization I did won't appear on the new color bar right ? is there a way to change this ? Unfortunately that's one of the limitations of this Theme (configuration), it works by opening and closing different toolbars (changes won't apply to other toolbars).
ALSO From your picture I've noticed you have an annoying white box (where it has "Single - Transfer - Misc View - Misc Transfer - Explorer - Metadata")
To Fix\remove this white box do the following...
“Setting” - “Preferences” - “Colors and Font’s” - “Folder Tabs”.
uncheck “use system colors” then
Make selected and Unselected Text = White
Make selected and Unselected Background = Black
Feel free to send me a personal message to continue this Conversation if need be.
I wish I could use it but it slows down my computer and it occasionally crashes. So, unfortunately, I can't use it.
You ever think about designing a totally interfact that is light years ahead of Window OS? Something that doesn't use graphical folders to organize data and folders.
I've been searching for a forum that discusses totally redesigning the personal computer operating system. It's been decades since Windows OS first came and nothing really has changed that much. I'd love to talk to people about what could improve Windows OS in fundamental ways. I actually think that the Windows OS should be completely scrapped and a new computer system should be designed from the bottom-up.
Would anyone know of any websites that would discuss this topic in depth?
