Using DOpus 9.002... I want to change font color and background of selected files and folders. Font colors change fine (I want a white font with blue background), but backgrounds only change in icon and thumbnail views, as seen with the ADDINS folder in both images: ![](http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/8669/fileissue2rh3.gif) ![](http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/9329/fileissue1ci3.gif) I read the manual 😮 and it provided this: "The background colors for the Lister, Tree, Viewer Pane, Toolbars and status bar only apply if you have not chosen to use a background image from Display - Images." Fair enough, I turn off images (even though I don't want to, as I really like the alternate grey/white line to differentiate, rather than the new DOpus grid lines) and still get the same effect. What am I missing? ---

Change to standard windows theme and see what happens then. If everything is fine, your windows theme doesn't work with DO9 (the lister's color gradient at the top looks also strange!). ---

Changing the colours works fine for me, including with background images. Maybe it's to do with the settings under Display - Options? Here are mine: ![](https://resource.dopus.com/uploads/default/original/3X/9/0/90cdb2a7fd468289a628ee7ed9c86584faf34227.png) ---

That was it, Nudel. Thanks!
