That is the viewer pane, and you can change it as I described above.
I'm not sure where the idea you were talking about Info Tips came from.
I can't seemed to reproduce it anymore.. which I guess is a good thing.. hmm.. thanks for being so responsive @Leo
There seemed to be some inconsistencies. I am not sure if it was due to skinning or if it was a bug but the pane will turn white in certain instances (which I can't reproduce but I have captured the screenshot) and always in Recycle Bin and Network Drive.

You could try Preferences / Display / Options / Enable background images in virtual folders but it doesn't always work that well, especially with dark themes.
A few folders are delegated to the Windows shell (Explorer, essentially). Folders where Opus cannot really add any value as the only thing you can do in them is double-click something to go somewhere else. The Windows shell does not provide many options to change the way it looks, so those folders will look like the rest of your system, not like Opus if you have Opus configured to look non-standard.

Dumb question: if I want to revert to default white "theme", how do I do that? I go to Settings-Lister Theme and only see this one theme I have installed. There is no default to switch to. Will be useful to have one to switch to, actually.

You can reset things to the defaults as per here:

Thanks for the tip - but from usability point of view, it would be easier to have a default Theme in the Setting-Lister Themes dialog box.

I agree. Adding a default theme, or a reset from the theme dialog would improve usability.

I have downloaded Simple Light V2 theme just so I could switch to white; but it's still not default. Better than nothing, I guess.

If you reset the Preferences pages (which only takes a few seconds), you could then save your own Plain Theme via the Themes dialog for easier reverting of themes in the future.
One reason we no longer have an actual official Plain theme is that the defaults are different for different versions of Windows (as well as different Opus versions, and different Windows themes). We could have a special "reset" flag as part of the themes system, but that does not exist now and would not work in any current Opus version, and it would really just do the same as resetting the four Preferences pages. (Or three Preferences pages, since few people use Sounds these days.)

Thank you for a quality skin! All well and good, but there is a caveat which I uncomfortable. The screenshot in the header of the theme can be seen that the allocation of the Temp folder, the background turns blue. As a result, the folder color and the color of the text in the folder name - both blue, though different shades. Besides, on a dark gray background, selected folder is not enough stands out relative to other folders. I work in 4K (at this high resolution folders are small in size) and do a lot of operations with folders (allocate a group of folders, copy them, etc.) and when you have hundreds of folders to look for the right file names and size and to allocate them for later copy or move, you begin to strain eyes trying to see my desired folder.
Prompt please who knows where in the settings you can change:
- the color of the text in the folder name
- the background color of the folder when released
And the same for files:
- the color of the text in the file name
- the background color of the file in the allocation
Most colors are under Preferences / Display / Colors and Fonts.
For dark themes, you may also wish to turn off Preferences / Display / Options / Use visual style to draw items (overrides selection colors) so that the Windows visual style is not used to draw selection boxes, and you get full control over the background color of selected files.

I asked this question here because changing the color settings I did not get the result. But after disable option "Use visual style to draw items (overrides selection colors)" everything turned out (although this has changed and the location of these folders)! Thank you!

For #1
Settings > Preferences > Display > Colors & Fonts > Other Colors > File dislay border - Destination
and
Settings > Preferences > Display > Colors & Fonts > Other Colors > File dislay border - Source
For #2, don't get what you mean. I don't think that you can have different themes for different listers.

This screen is very dark and not very legible. Where can I change this?
It uses the same colors that the file display uses, so you can preview what the labels look like.
Colors are set under:
- Preferences / Display / Colors and Fonts
- Preferences / Favorites and Recent / Labels

I think the main issue is the group header text colour "Label Filters", not the label colour, which can be changed using the dropdown on the right hand side. Obviously if you configure a dark label on a dark background, you won't be able to see it.
Thanks!
