Changing Color Preferences

Help & Support
1

I wish there was a document to help me understand the name and function of all the Opus interface elements. It is very hard to make changes when I am not sure what I am changing.

Today my specific question relates to the file display panel.

01 > How do I change the color of the white buttons under arrow 1

02 > The tan area above arrow 2 should be the destination folder background color grey above the 3 arrow. For some reason the files are selected and the area retains the color of the non destination folder tan background.

03 > The blue above the arrow 4 is fine since the column is the sort column

04 > I can not figure out how to change the color and text for the column headers, in this case Modified, Size, Ext, etc.

Thanks

Toolbar buttons use static images, so to change them you'd need to edit the button and pick a different image.

File and folder colors are configured under Preferences / Colors and Fonts / Directory Opus Colors / Files and folders.

If files have a background color specified this will override the file display background color.
