Problem with background and font

NeoPagan · Post by **NeoPagan** » 2005-11-12 14:41

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++?

Eh, .... Im using really BCDC++. Yes, I know, this is not BCDC forum, so sorry, but why dont works it in this BCDC? In DC++ it works finely!

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.

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",
   },
}
