Result text is grey instead of white in Everything 1.5a

[c.bisignano]

Hi everyone, after installing Everything 1.5a i noticed that the result file Names are in gray and not in black like it used to be in older versions,

already tried to change the font color for "Result list" in the "Font and Colors" page, but did nothing,

here are a comparison of the 2 versions of Everything, thanks in advance for all the Help.

Is the volume offline?
If offline, files will display grayed out like that.

Hi therube, thanks for the answer, the Volumes are all constantly online, they are shared folder from our server at work, so 24/7 available

Everything will be unable to see your mapped network drives if you run Everything as admin.

Please make sure Everything is installed correctly and running as a standard user:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the General tab on the left.
• Check Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything.
• Uncheck Run as administrator.
• Check Everything Service. (Please make sure this is tick-checked and not square-checked)
• Click OK.
• Exit Everything (from the File menu, click Exit).
• Restart Everything.

Strange, Everything starts monitoring the M: drive fine, then it immediately fails with access denied.
What type of hardware/OS are you using to host your M: drive?

I assume the older versions of Everything had the same issue?
Everything 1.5 will show offline files with transparency.

To disable this transparency:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Advanced tab on the left.
• To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
  offline
• Select: offline_alpha
• Set the value to: 255
• Click OK.

Thanks for the reply, void,
the workaround works perfect for me, thank you.

As Info, the drives are hosted in a server in our company,
IT uses a strange SMB share where sometimes the drive will not appear at start and need to restart the entire PC, so I think that is not a common SMB share like in my home (never had any problem with my shares and everything).
The exact configuration type I’m unable to tell you, as I don’t work in IT.

The topic can be closed as "solved" for what I’m concerned.

*edit:
older version of everything listed the results as black and not gray, I can`t tell you if it had the same problem, both versions are working fine, as expected, the results are being updated and the new files are showing regularly, in both version.
