#44 impossible to tell if file/dir under cursor is selected
Hi Thomas
I just received the following Bugreport in Debian BTS: http://bugs.debian.org/533570
---
Hello,
The cursor is using white/black even if the file underneath is selected.
It should for example change the foreground to the same color as
"Selected Item" (default red) instead.
I know this is upstream, but have no idea where to report/forward it.
Regards,
Andrei

Would it be possible to change the behaviour when having the cursor over a selected item, so that this is distinquished?
Many thanks ofr all your work
Kind regards
Salvatore
Yes, this is a known issue, limitation of GtkTreeView. There's no way to dynamically change colours of the cursor/text, with no significant performance impact. Any hints are welcome, the widget is not flexible that much however.

Hi Tomas
Hmm, yes this seems reasonable to not have an impact on performance. I didn't foud it out yet how gnome-commander does ist (see attached screenshot). The text of the selected item is yellow in default color scheme. If I pass over it with the coursor, the text is still yellow. So maybe if we can find out how gnome-commander solves this, it is possible applicable to tuxcmd too?
Kind regards
Salvatore
p.s.: many thanks for your fast reply
FYI, gnome-commander uses deprecated GtkCList from gtk 1.x era, it's a completely different widget.
I have plans to write custom list view widget from scratch or partially based on the Evolution one. No time to do that though.
