Can anyone suggest a skin on which the file list input focus is visible when on a selected file?

On all skins I've tried (inc. Noire, WinDozeClassic and others), the input focus disappears when moved to a selected file e.g. here input focus is on unselected #3 and visible:



but when moved up to selected #2 (press CTRL+UP ARROW) it disappears:



Alternatively, does anyone know how in skin design one may make this input focus visible?

Thanks.

No solution for you. Diabolik behaves the same way like the other skins you already tested do. It's not a skin issue, it's a MC issue.

OK, thanks SF.

But there's option to specify font too (color) but i don't see what input focus is missing ...

If you move your mouse over a list view in MC, the file under the mouse courser gets highlighted. Now press [STRG]+[A] and move your mouse around again. The file under the mouse courser doesn't get highlighted any more. That's what chrisjj is talking about.

Actually not SF. That's a mouse hover effect. The input focus can be seen by moving to the file list, then pressing CTRL+DOWN ARROW.

Here's a shot of mouse hover on #5, input focus on #3.



They can easily be mistaken for one another because MC displays them identically - at least on all the skins I've tried. But they function differently.

Yes, but as far as I know on skin side input focus and mouse over are the same even when it's different on the technically/functionally side.

can you try with this on the "list" of the main.xml

Code: [Select]

<Colors Text="4e4e4e" back="d4d4d4" SelectedText="000000"

SelectedBack="a2b2ca" SelectedWeight="160" OverText="3e7417" Current="f11198"

GridlineBack="dbdbdb" Gridline="62a421" />

This doesn't work. This is not a skin issue, it's an MC issue. MC right now doesn't allow to view mouse over effects or input focus effects on top off selected files. Till they don't change this, it can't be fixed by modifying the skins xml file, unless there is a state within the Colors Text section which none of the skinners around here know 

I was wondering about this behavior of MC a longer time ago, but for me it was not such a big deal. Perhaps it should be a tweaking suggestion...

MC right now doesn't allow to view mouse over effects or input focus effects on top off selected files.

Note: an exception to that is on Rating, where mouseover a selected file previews stars and displays X button.
