Change main PowerArchive icon colors

I would like to see the main PowerArchiver icon colors to get changed slightly. Problem is that in Windows XP explorer uses the same yellow color as PowerArchiver. I can hardly see the difference between the taskbar buttons for a PowerArchiver window and a Windows Explorer window. Here’s a screenshot:

Problem is worse on TFT display. The vertical viewing range is limited so details fade out a bit. I think more users have problems with it.

Hi! When using the modern ribbon interface, it’s not possible to change the skin according to spwolf in this thread. Now I really like the ribbon interface, but that also mean that I can only choose between 3 color schemes in the program (blue, silver and black). I would like to have the possibility to choose from a palette of colors to create my own color scheme in PA when using the ribbon interface. I have attached 3 screen shots from another program that uses the ribbon interface and where I also have this possibility. The screen shots is just so you get an idea of what functionality I’m looking for. Since this is only eye candy and you have probably other features that have higher priority, this is considered low priority from my side, but maybe in some future version of PA you could add support for this. Kind Regards Micke

Hi, I’d like to see similar functionality like Extract Now freeware has. You can search for archives in a folder and sub-folders and automatically add tasks to queue for extracting each archive found.

Please consider moving the “Action” field to the main Add dialogue box. Since this field retains its settings from the last archive created it has the potential to cause problems. For example, if the last archive created used the move action instead of add you could potentially delete important files the next time you create a zip. Thanks, Jerry S

i really dont understand why would you put this into the “what should be next format” in PA thread… this is why we have complete forum section for wishes - so not everything would be together in one post. and you might want to explorer some of the skins, they already have different icons included… it is a bit of work, but it might be worthwile, up to you

I was thinking about upgrading to newest PA version so I installed it for testing. One thing: new icons. They’re too bright (or maybe the saturation level is too big). Look at the attached image and compare newest icons to other, typical icons. Note that the color scheme is totally diferent, they just don’t go to well with each others. Look how the older PA icons (bottom of the image) look good with the others, even the oldest are much better. The contrast with the background is much too low, and on default system color scheme it’s even worse (white background, and very bright yellow icons). Note that none of default Windows icons don’t have such high saturation, they’re all based on the same level. Look at the second screenshot, new icon just doesn’t fit there well. And on the third screenshot you can see that many bright icons near each other can give you a real eyes pain. So I ask you to make an option to choose from oldest, new and newest icon set when making file associations. It just a small tweak, beacuse the icons could be called e.g. 1xx (oldest), 2xx (new), 3xx (newset) in the resources and in that case it’s just a small fix in the registry and everything would work fine.

why? When they look disabled, you know that they are disabled… when they dont exist, you might think they really dont exist… Its part of standard Windows interface.
