Thanks Frank, sorry that it took a while to respond. The reason that I made the original post is that when I use: [Colors] base_color=executable=blue,white:viewunderline=yellow,black:normal=red,white:selected=lightgrey,lightgreen:marked=cyan,black:markselect=white,lightgreen:directory=black,white:link=red,white:device=lightgrey,black:special=cyan,black linux= color_terminals= which look in mc 4.6.2-pre1 like this: http://www.esnips.com/doc/fc65cf70-f688-448d-ba45-c6d6dfc1a9bf/mc-dir-menu then it looks like this in mc 4.7.0.1: http://www.esnips.com/doc/12bc56c7-953e-493e-8deb-061649b42f1e/mc-dir-menu-4701oldini. mcedit looks in 4.6.2-pre1 with those colors in ini like this: http://www.esnips.com/doc/ff64545d-2e9a-40b1-9119-027c8f9ffce8/mc-edit and like this in mcedit of 4.7.0.1: http://www.esnips.com/doc/84c1c52f-2c36-4167-b3bf-d7d2ba557a96/mc-edit-4701oldini Now your reworked darkfar looks in a directory like this: http://www.esnips.com/doc/8a085ae5-533b-4638-b8c2-f6fc28a9238a/mc-dir-copy-4701frank Note the copy menu. In 4.6.2-pre1 with my colors that looks like: http://www.esnips.com/doc/60df64d4-6bab-4837-9537-3b053cd53d8b/mc-dir-copy But the problem is bigger in mcedit. With the reworked darkfar skin that looks like: http://www.esnips.com/doc/39e00bf7-49bc-4c82-8f00-3abb316abbf6/mc-edit-4701frank Thanks again.
