focus rectangle

[cookietran]

my version of 'everything' - 1.2.1.371 (win xp)

is it possible to get rid of unsightly focus rectangle ?

i am asking because i sincerely detest these dots, they bother me a lot. thanks to the afore-mentioned article i got rid of this focus rectangle in windows explorer, foo-bar... but, unfortunately, not in program 'everything'

any advice will be considered gratefully. for the sake of solving this problem i am ready to modify the ini-file or upgarde a program or do almost anything else (this is really important to me)

The earliest version that supports disabling the XOR focus rectangle is 1.3.4.686.

To disable the XOR focus rectangle in 1.3.4:

• Completely exit Everything (right click the Everything system tray icon and click Exit).
• Open your %APPDATA%\Everything\Everything.ini
• Change the following line:
  draw_focus_rect=1
• to:
  draw_focus_rect=0
• Save changes and restart Everything.

To disable the XOR focus rectangle in 1.4 or later:

• In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
  /draw_focus_rect=0
• If successful, you should see draw_focus_rect=0 in the statusbar for a few seconds.
