0.99: Unreadable file list in Browser mode because of wrong colors

Post by Fleet Command »

XnView: MP 0.99 - 64 bit
OS: Windows 10 version 21H1 x64, Windows Server 2022

Starting with version 0.99, the file list is very difficult to read because of incorrectly colored text. More specifically:

1. When the Dark or Black theme is selected, and the Details view is active, XnView MP renders all file names in white, even though the user preferences specify other colors. (Other views are okay.)
2. Regardless of the theme, XnView MP renders folder names in white. When the Light theme is enabled, they are unreadable.

I first observed this issue on my Windows 10 machine. I tested on a clean Windows Server virtual machine just to be sure.

To reproduce:
1. Install XnView MP
2. During the first startup, select the Dark Theme.
3. From the menu bar, select View -> View As -> Details.
4. Open a folder containing JPEG images.

Actual behavior (bug): XnView MP renders the file list with a beige background and white text.

Expected behavior: XnView MP must render the file with whatever color the user specified in the Preferences. By default, it is a beige background and black text.
