Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

madc0de: No, but maybe you can mod https://github.com/hut/ranger/blob/mast … _filter.py to do this

Hund: Yup, modify the colorscheme. See the man page, and https://github.com/hut/ranger/blob/mast … default.py - it's the first line in the class definition.

I can only see a option to change the bg. Thats why I asked.

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

Look for the place in the color scheme where "progress_bar_color" is used and change the "fg" variable where you need to.

            if context.loaded:
                if context.selected:
                    fg = self.progress_bar_color
                else:
                    bg = self.progress_bar_color

I dont know how to change that?

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

Well, it's the other occurance of "progress_bar_color". The one under "elif context.in_statusbar"

I tried changing various values. Nothing happened. Could you be a bit more specific so I dont have to guess? Pretty please.

unless you are speaking of a specifc theme it may depend ... you could paste bin your theme and link it i would be happy to try to help you learn how to set colors

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

class Solarized(ColorScheme):
    progress_bar_color = 172

lines 10 and 11 in your paste ... that would be ( if i read correctly ) the color to change

I'm used to hex colors so let me take a look around and see if i can learn how those colors are picked so you dont have to just guess

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

it seems like a lot of colors in this theme are defined from progress_bar_color

        elif context.in_statusbar:
            if context.permissions:
                if context.good:
                    fg = 2
                elif context.bad:
                    fg = 160
                    bg = 235
            if context.marked:
                attr |= bold | reverse
                fg = 237
                bg = 47
            if context.message:
                if context.bad:
                    attr |= bold
                    fg = 160
                    bg = 235
            if context.loaded:
                bg = self.progress_bar_color

lines 95 - 112

perhaps the statusbar fg variables can change the fg of progressbar

hope some how it helps if not i will back out here.

I added a new line containing "fg = red". Try adding it too, at the same place. It should make the foreground red. Come to IRC, channel #ranger on irc.freenode.net, if you still have questions. IRC is more efficient for this kind of problem solving.

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

I started using Ranger, and it's great, thank you hut!

My question is: can I somehow set a background color for the "empty" (non-context, non-filelist) parts of Ranger? I'm using a slightly transparent terminal (Termite, with bg: 0, 0, 0, 0.9), and I set the background color for the context parts, for the statusbar and for the titlebar also in my ranger colorscheme, but I'd like to set background color for the "empty spaces" in the columns too, so the whole Ranger interface would have a solid background color.

I made a screenshot, so you can see what I mean: scrot. I can see my wallpaper through Ranger. That's why I'd like to set a background color for the columns. I know that I can set the terminal background color to non-trasparent, but I'd like to use my terminal this way, and have only Ranger with a solid background color (which is non-transparent).

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

hut: Thank you for the quick reply! I'm sorry to hear that. I've opened a new issue, I hope that someone will have an idea about it.

The issue: Make it possible to set a solid background color for the "empty spaces" of the columns.

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

Thanks for your work, hut! Is there anything I have to do for ranger to highlight syntax in C files other than installing highlight? I have found nothing else in the documentation, but highlighting in previews doesn't work.

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

Great filemanager! I wonder, is there a way to search files not only in the current directory, but also in subdirectories?

UPDATE: Figured out, that one can apply a filter to the flat directory listing.

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

@Teyras: you need scope.sh in ranger config folder ($XDG_CONFIG_HOME/ranger). The default file has highlighting support. You can copy it with

ranger --copy-config=scope

From the manual:

By default, only text files are previewed, but you can enable external preview scripts by setting the option "use_preview_script" and "preview_files" to true.

Cf. the PREVIEW section of ranger(1) for more details.

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

@Ambrevar: use_preview_script complains that "Preview script undefined or not found". Is that meant to be run from ranger? If I understand it correctly, I don't need a custom scope.sh, because the default already has highlighting, right?
