Colors
Allows you to modify the colors of the Sally environment and manage rules for highlighting files and directories in the panels.
Dialog Box Options
- Scheme
- Lists the available color schemes you can choose for the Sally environment. The Custom scheme is available for user-defined colors.
- Item
- Lists the available color items you can change. Use buttons on the right for choosing another color.
- Additional Rules for Highlighting of Files and Directories in the Panels
- Lists all the highlighting rules you have defined. You can specify multiple masks separated by semicolons (;). Masks are processed from top to bottom.
- When name agrees to mask, check attributes
- Specifies the conditions under which a file or directory is colored. Use the buttons on the right to choose the item's color in the panel. See File and Directory Attributes for meaning of individual check boxes.
- The rule selected in the list applies only to names that match its mask and whose attributes agree with these check boxes: Archive, Read-only, Hidden, System, Compressed, Encrypted and Directory (the last one distinguishes directories from files). Each check box has three states:
The attribute must be set.
The attribute must not be set.
The attribute does not matter (the third state).- The check boxes are disabled when no rule is selected.
