Dear Dimitry,

two more observations:

* freemind.modes.ControllerAdapter.displayNode has an error: create a
map with a folded node "foo". Then goto the new search dialog, enter
"foo" and press return. Normally, the node is selected. Here, an
exception is thrown:

* The new background for nodes is black in my case and the nodes are
difficult to read. Where do you get the information
about the color? What colors are taken from the OS?

Thanks for the audience,

I can neither can reproduce the bug nor understand how to create a 
"folded" node.

Look at public void FreeMindCommon.loadSystemProperties(Properties props) {
		props.put(FreeMind.RESOURCES_BACKGROUND_COLOR, 
Tools.colorToXml(SystemColor.window));
		props.put(FreeMind.RESOURCES_NODE_COLOR, 
Tools.colorToXml(SystemColor.windowText));
		props.put(FreeMind.RESOURCES_SELECTED_NODE_COLOR, 
Tools.colorToXml(SystemColor.textHighlight));
		props.put(FreeMind.RESOURCES_SELECTED_NODE_TEXT_COLOR, 
Tools.colorToXml(SystemColor.textHighlightText));
	}

The property FreeMind.RESOURCES_SELECTED_NODE_COLOR is used as the
background color of the selected node or as the color of the rounded
rectangle around the selected node depending on the property 
FreeMind.RESOURCE_DRAW_RECTANGLE_FOR_SELECTION = 
"standarddrawrectangleforselection".

The property FreeMind.RESOURCES_SELECTED_NODE_TEXT_COLOR is responsible 
for the text of the selected node. I have also seen that there still was 
a problem with selected bubble nodes, which has also been fixed.

 From the picture you send I suggest that you have chosen black as your 
standard background for the  highlighted text and white as the selected 
text color. In this case the selected nodes get black and their texts 
get white.

Hi Dimitry,

as a developer of FreeMind you should know, what "folded" is.
In serious: here are the exact steps (to get a folded node):
Ctrl-N, Insert, type "a", enter, Insert, type "b", Enter, select "a",
type SPACE, node "b" is *folded*. 
Ctrl-Shift-F, "b", select row with node "b" in it, choose "select and close", Exception.

According to colors:

Perhaps, they are ok under windows, but I bet, that linux doesn't supports these colors, as there is no such "registry entry". Personally, my terminals have a white background and black text color. In FreeMind this is reversed.

I'll try under Mac, but the current solution doesn't pleases me.

Best regards, Chris

Hi Chris,

As a software engineer I know that every not precise defined term leads
to misunderstanding.

So I would say that node "a" is folded and node "b" is not visible.

> Ctrl-Shift-F, "b", select row with node "b" in it, choose "select and

Here is the critical point. I have tried only Ctrl-F before, because the
Ctrl-Shift-F is a Search-and-Replace Dialog. Now I was able to reproduce
the problem. It is fixed now.

Surely we can still take the values from freemind.properties for linux 
or Mac environments if they do not support colors. Let me know if it is 
required.
