Problem with background and font

Post by NeoPagan » 2005-11-12 09:41

When I set in Colours and sounds menu my background/window/ color to black and text color to white, it doesnt work! When I connect to any hub, I dont see any text there! When I tried to set my background to white and font to black, the text IS THERE!!! Can anybody help me, why the text stays black, when I set white text and black background???

Did you restart DC++?

I did a quick test, and it (changing the text to white and the window color to black) worked fine for me with the DC++ 0.674 we released. (After a restart.)

Is it 100% that you are using DC++ and not BCDC++?

Open formatting-settings.txt and change this so it will look like:

Code: Select all

background_is_dark=1
Sorry if incorrect, I do not have it here, and may have forgotten the correct settings, since I don't use BCDC++.

I tried to change it, but nothing happened. I restarted DC and nothing... The background is BLACK, that is OK, that was black before too, but the text is black too, and I dont see anything on main chat in DC. I tried to rewrite text color in that .txt file, but nothing...

Post the contents of your formatting_settings.txt here.

And a mod please move this to the appropriate thread.

txt

Post by NeoPagan » 2005-11-12 15:10

So, here is that txt file content:

formatting_opt = {
flash_on_myname = 0,
seconds_in_timestamp = 1,
bold = 1,
also_match_nicks = {
},
background_is_dark = 1,
color = {
self = "red",
nick = "darkred",
myname = "darkgreen",
link = "blue",
partner = "darkmagenta",
op = "blue",
time = "darkgray",
noise = "darkgray",
normal = "white",
},
}

Apropo, the users file list and the private post in my BCDC are white text on black background, but the text in main chat is black on black! I can see only the nicks with magenta color but the text after nick isnt seen...

Can you put the original formatting.lua and formatting_settings.txt files into the folder (from the BCDC++ package) replacing these, and changing only the background_is_dark value? You don't need to restart BCDC++, you only have to write this into mainchat:

Code: Select all

/luafile scripts/startup.lua
This formatting_settings.txt worked fine when I set a black background:

Code: Select all

formatting_opt = {
	flash_on_myname = 0,
	seconds_in_timestamp = 1,
	bold = 1,
	also_match_nicks = {
	},
	background_is_dark = 1,
	color = {
		self = "red",
		nick = "darkred",
		myname = "darkgreen",
		link = "blue",
		partner = "darkmagenta",
		op = "blue",
		time = "darkgray",
		noise = "darkgray",
		normal = "black",
	},
}
