Minor question - Column Header size

Post by cman »

Has the Column Header pixel size changed since 1.3 to 1.4.1
It just feels like a fat button now instead of a title block you have and can use.

Updated yesterday and the header size (header result row - name,path,size,etc) feels quite a bit taller to me. It's annoying, but i'm wondering if this was intentional or accidental?
I can't imagine there's a simply way to restore it, but it'll be nice to know it was a planned changed rather than accidental. I took a look at all the update notes and couldn't spot the change.

Everything 1.3 or later should use the default header size.

What OS are you using?

To customize the header height:
  • In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
    /header_high=18
    where 18 is the header height in pixels.
  • Close the Everything Search window.
  • Reopen the Everything Search window.
It should be the same height as it was in Everything 1.3.
Everything 1.2 was a little shorter, as it was hard coded to the header height for Windows XP.

I'm using Windows 7 home premium.

And thank you for the header customization, i didn't know this was so simple to revise.

It definitely wasn't 18 originally, trying a few it looked like it was set to 24 somehow. Simple change with your help to change it back to 18.
It seems like the newer interfaces get the more padding they think people want to see, it's really annoying to some though. It's wonderful to see a tool able to revise some of them so simply.

Is there a list of customizable options in the help somewhere? I haven't noticed on other than the time setting.
