    Windows Explorer Selected Item Text Color


    Is it possible to change the text color on items in windows explorer list/tree depending on it's state (hovered/selected/selected not focused/not focused hover)? I have Windows Style Builder.

    Welcome to the Seven Forums

    For the navigation panel on the left side:

    Explorer & Shell > Explorer > TreeView > TreeItem > Hot, Selected, etc. TEXTCOLOR:COLOR click on the color swatch and the color window will open up and you could choose your color.

    Hi Bongo, thank you :)

    The treeview works great but the list view doesn't. Is it possible with the listview as well?

    The listview in the black box is what I wanna change. For example CSC is selected and I want to be able to change the text color when it is. Is this possible?

    Thanks! That changes the color of the listview but I want something more. I want the text color to change when an item is selected or hovered over etc. For example, in my image CSC is selected, I want to be able to change the "CSC" text to a different color when it's in that state. I'm not sure if this is possible.

    It's not possible just normal and selected text color.

    Yeah, I thought so because I tried every color setting in there. Was hoping there would be a hidden one. Thanks though!
