Another v6.50 color question

Postby no1butme » Sat Dec 21, 2013 12:42 pm

Is there a way to control the colors of the progress bar, specifically the lower half of the chunks being downloaded (the 2/3 gray, 1/3 darker green)? After installing 6.50 today, this color somehow changed and I cannot figure out where to set it, if it's even possible.

THANKS!

Look in the server options.

I have it set to the lighter green color you see in the image. The large portion of gray chunks you see were "old" downloads NB detected when I restarted. The lighter green are completed (newer) downloads. The chunks downloading have a dark gray color to the bottom 2/3. There isn't an option for that, but it changed between v6.42 and v6.50 for me.

I'm wondering if I just need to do a complete fresh install versus an upgrade. It's been quite a long time since a complete install was performed.

Already downloaded blocks have a dark color because Newsbin has no idea what server the chunk came from after a restart. If you have multiple servers, just assigning some server color would be incorrect.

Yes, I understand the already downloaded chunks, has been that way for years - at least for me it has. What I was originally asking about was the chunks currently being downloaded (the lower 2/3 of the small block) - they are now gray in v6.50, whereas in v6.42 they were the same color as the server color. Just curious if there is a setting for this, like in the .nbi file or if it's hard coded into the program itself.

Thanks again!
