Hi, I can't find a feature request page at DOpus official, but this isn't really a request anyway, just a rant. DoOpus allows you to color folders throught the 'Favorites & Recent' settings. If only you could color files too. I've been using Shedko Badges to differentiate song lyric RTFs and stuff; with custom icons it works well as long as you set DOpus to display overlay icons. But there's another abandonware(!) project called Xentient labels (XL) that allows you to set files and folders to any configurable colour, which would be even more useful. Now XL works in (XP) Explorer - see attached pic, it's just that there's no way to disable the DOpus 'standard' file colour setting, which seems to override the Explorer setting intercepted(?) by XL. Or is there?
Sorry, to clarify - that file in pink is not the default 'select' colour; that's done by Xentient Labels. The icon overlays are Shedko, which work in DOpus. Colorful, eh?
Sorry, you've lost me. What is it you want to know?
(FWIW, extending the Opus Folder Colors system to files is already on GPSoftware's to-do list.)
I nearly lost myself lol. I just wondered if there was a setting I'd missed to enable this behaviour, ie that woks in Explorer but not DOpus. Glad to hear it's on the todo list. Thanks.
Which behaviour?
The behaviour where a particular hack that works in Explorer works in DOpus. (I had thought it might be disabling the default 'file'text colour'. But that's not available).
I've no idea how that particular hack works but I imagine it mess about with Explorer's internals and thus would not work with anything else unless it was modified to do so.
Those screenshots don't even look like they are of Explorer?
