[RandomGOTI]

Describe what you noticed and did

Set Sandboxie-Plus.ini - >ColorBoxIcons=true To any box BorderColor=#f6f602,off

Added the full value (incl border size) ,6 to BorderColor=#f6f602,off from Edit INI in box options and had a BSOD , went back to sandboxie and the box was still blue despite BorderColor=#f6f602,off,6

I change border color from UI with HTML #f6f602 and the box color changes to yellow and check the box ini : BorderColor=#02f6f6,off,6

I repeat the action but HTML #02f6f6 (....) to blue (....) : BorderColor=#f6f602,off,6

I can't reproduce this insofar as whatever # value I enter gets ignored. Before, I never attempted to change the color by entering a different hex-code, since I used the color picker. Now I wanted to try to reproduce this issue and added #f6f602 to the ini, for some box, but the icon of the box did not change from the default yellow. Even starting a program did not change the color of the icon.

Even setting it to on in the ini did not change the icon or the border color at all. In the Sandman UI the color picker and the icon remained at yellow. Selecting the color with the color picker, allows me to change the color for the icon and starting a program gets that border color. With the color picker I picked some color (purpleish). Editing the ini to change the color to #ed2839 (redish) had no effect on the icon nor the window color. Even restarting sandman and reloading the ini again, had no effect.

Since I never edited the code for the border color, I can't tell whenever this is something that worked before.

For this issue, setting #f6f602 does not do anything for me, neither change the color, nor have any crash or BSOD.

The issue happens with both classic and plus UI's, border color value #f6f602 (yellow) appears as blue and if blue is used #02f6f6 appears as yellow in the UI, and what i mean is the hex code in the config and what appears in the UI is not matching. The color picker on the other hand has no issue on my end.

00ffff (blue again lol) that appears as xffff00 (yellow) xD

ee2304 (red) appears as #0423ee (blue) in ini and so on

On my recordings with plus version 1.2.8 , 1.3.0 and 1.3.1 issue can be seen as i show both sandbox options and ini tabs

(1.2.8 & 1.3.0 https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/Sandboxie/issues/2111#issuecomment-1210364368 )

(1.3.1 https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/Sandboxie/issues/1955#issuecomment-1214314401 )

About the BSOD , i mainly mentioned it as a "this happened and anyway back to ... " kind of thing , since i didn't get any BSOD at all for years , i disabled dumps ¯_(ツ)_/¯ , and the only two i got recently where only related to sandboxie , first i was editing a resorce access option and i made a mistake typing it , i was editing it via the path column in the UI (plus 1.2.x ), second was this time , stopped all and used connect and got it after i finished editing the boxborder value and got to reload the ini I did test stuff by changing config and restarting service/driver multiple times and i may have gave it a headache testing for application crash (werfault) on issue #2091 before i got to play around with ColorBoxIcons feature and noticed the BorderColor issue

border color value #f6f602 (yellow) appears as blue and if blue is used #02f6f6 appears as yellow in the UI, and what i mean is the hex code in the config and what appears in the UI is not matching.

I can't reproduce that. #f6f602 gives me a yellow icon and yellow border, #02f6f6 gives me a blue icon and a blue border. That is when being set over the UI of sandman. When editing the .ini there is no change in color, no matter what code I use, for me it remains the color I selected before, for the icon and for the actual border.

Edit: To clarify what my comment below means, is that I can reproduce your issue of the color not matching what you put in the .ini, which is due to the format of the encoding to be different.

[bastik-1001]

Sandman shows #40ff99 in the color picker and in the ini it shows #99ff40 (which are the same numbers, but in a different order).

58ffb1 becomes #b1ff58 in the .ini

Edit: So, when I use the different structure in the .ini, I can get sandman to change the color of the icon and the border color.

[bastik-1001]

And the reason setting the color to purblish in the UI and changing the color in the ini to redish had no effect for me was due to the hexcodes being the same. Actually being the opposite of each other by accident, but written differently in the UI, and in the ini. I just went back to check if my previous attempts had not been with invalid hexcodes.

Hmm update on that BSOD , page fault in nonpaged area SbieDrv.sys I just had it as i reloaded the ini file

EDIT: No bsod since then

[DavidXanatos]

can you plrease provide a kernel dump

This video is too big.

(thats what she said) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Try again with a file size less than 10MB.

Also getting weird issues:

Delete default box and restart the sandboxie UI: a defaultbox gets created with BorderColor=#00ffff,ttl which is yellow and shows as yellow border on apps

Now create a new box, the ini shows it as: BorderColor=#02f6f6,ttl which is blue, but it still shows up as yellow border on apps

@DavidXanatos

I retested the above in a clean VM setup and fresh sandboxie plus install:

DefaultBox and NewBox have different border color values but both will show up as yellow.
