New theme May-2024

[Angelo Upali]

Good morning everyone, I have created this very clear and clean theme which I put on a Github for everyone to use.

https://github.com/Au-angeloupali/Au-OmeCommander-theme

I think One commander is an excellent tool, I also used Files for a long time, but OneCommander works better in the column view and to date I find it better on the frontend side.
For now I just hope they manage to enable the Acrylic mode.

I haven't managed to fix these parameters yet

• Context menu CornerRadius
• Context menu spacer color
• Context menu border
• Context menu background alpha

Bug: The second level of the Context menù have a tasparent background.

Thank you for your attention,
Angelo.

Great! Thanks for sharing. I'll take a closer look over the weekend and get back to you

It looks very messy on Windows 10 :(

[OneCommander Support]

It is a good start but there are several problems

• Message box/dialogs are transparent unless mica effect is enabled
• It doesn't distinguish between disabled and default button state
• Color in default button state has low contrast to background (look for WCAG AA contrast compliance requirements)
• Mouse hover effects are missing (buttons, collapsed pane...)
• Menu works only with menu acrylic effect, otherwise transparent
• F3 search dialog doesn't have window buttons (something is covering them), 
• Settings window shows two close buttons

Sorry, I edited this on Win 11 and haven't tested it on Win 10. I'll put this spec in the README
Thanks for the feedback
Angelo

I saw the problems, how can I fix them? I don't understand where it comes from, I only changed the theme file...

for the Message box/dialogs I can't find the parameter to fix it.
The contextual menu is the one that gives me the most problems, I don't understand what's wrong, I spent a few hours fixing it but I couldn't.

it's a good base but it has some critical issues, if we could fix it it would be a good resource available to everyone.

thanks

Look where you put "Transparent" color for background. Use a program like winmerge to compare your theme with MicaLight

Hi, I've released a new release that fixes some issues.
Could you tell me how to remove the border of the context menu and make it rounded corners?

Thank you, Angelo.

[Angelo Upali]

Fixed: Message box/dialogs are transparent unless mica effect is enabled
Fixed: Menu works only with menu acrylic effect, otherwise transparent
Fixed: Settings window shows two close buttons

More generally, how can I put the corner ragius on elements where it is not currently present?
for example, in addition to the context menu, I would also like to put the corner radius for the button selection box

Is it possible to have information on this?

[Jarosław Pietras]

What is this gray rectangle??

[OneCommander Support]

If element is type of Border it can have corner radius. Context menu probably can't because that acrylic effect is rendered underneath everything, independent of the element and it will have rectangular area regardless. That would require some additional window hacks

is there a new release with a new graphics.
I don't understand for the corner radiius.

Thank's Angelo.

Did you intentionally add the blank title bar on top?

When the object is type of Border it can have CornerRadius propery

<Style x:Key="PathPanelGroupBorder" TargetType="{x:Type Border}">
      ...
        <Setter Property="CornerRadius" Value="4" />
    </Style>
or individual 4 values "4,0,0,4"

"topLeft,topRight,bottomRight,bottomLeft"

[Angelo Upali]

Hi, sorry for the late reply.
yes the blank title bar on top is desired, my vision would be a dynamic status bar above the tabs, to have a fixed reference in which to find the icons.
The navigation window would then be tidier and more immediate for navigation

I hope it's a good discussion point.

thanks 

Angelo.

For me, this look a bit confusing.

[OneCommander Support]

There are some considerations for a toolbar underneath tabs. Since those buttons affect current tab and not the entire browser, it should be underneath.

Also, when maximized, tabs are at "infinite" height, like in web browsers (so you can just slam the cursor all the way to the top and click as there is no gap between tab and the top of the screen - same reason close button it all the way in the top-right corner)

Additional problem with toolbar buttons separated in that way is that there is also slight disconnect with sort and view buttons above the all columns while it only affects current pane. 

[Angelo Upali]

You could put it as an option, I would be better off using it.
and perhaps even with horizontal scrolling of tabs rather than collapsing to the side.

But I think it's the best resource explorer that I've tried so far and that I use as default on a daily basis.
