Hay,

Is it possible to change the left pane with other color or image?

Thx, H.

Sorry, as the left TreeView is a separate Control, this program cannot modify them. Additionally, due to the complexity of the controls, supporting images may be difficult and there are currently no plans to do so. If you want to modify the color, you can actually do so by modifying the registry for the global Window color. There are many tutorials online for this. This tool currently only focuses on the background image function.

Hello, how is it possible to change the color? I haven't found anything online. I mostly just want it for this: Sin título

(I used a green image as background, with your tool). Thank you for all the work.

Modify the "Window" key in the registry: "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\Colors".

Thank you! I will try this out.

imagen I've changed it to this but the colour is still the same. Anything I'm doing wrong? (Sorry for the bother, don't answer if it's annoying, thank you for the help so far anyways!).

The color should change after restarting your computer.

Darkmaster006 commented 11 months ago

Sadly, nothing has changed. Good old Windows...

Maplespe commented 11 months ago

Try this "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\DefaultColors\Standard". The value of "Window" is RGB color hexadecimal to decimal.

Thank you. I will try this at the moment. Default value: imagen imagen imagen

Changed to: C5E0B3 imagen

I'll reset and see what happens.

The color's still white, sadly.

Well, I'm sorry, but I remember that these registries worked in older versions. I tried it on 22H2 and it didn't work. I'll add the ability to set the background color in the next version.

Thank you for all the help. And don't worry, thanks a lot for helping anyways!
