Dark mode: How to use on older Windows versions, known problems
Post by *ghisler(Author) » 2019-10-16, 18:34 UTC
Currently the new dark mode functions are only enabled on Windows 10 version 1809 (Fall 2018) and newer. They can be found in
Configuration — Options — Color
To try the dark mode on older Windows versions, including Windows XP and 7, please choose Configuration — Change settings files directly.
Then look for [Configuration] in wincmd.ini. Below, add a new line containing:
ForceDarkModeOptions=1
Then restart Total Commander.
- On Windows versions older than Windows 10 version 1809, the scrollbars in all listboxes cannot be shown in dark mode.
- On Windows versions older than Windows 10 version 1809, the context menus are all bright (no dark mode).
- On ALL Windows versions, standard Windows dialogs including «Properties» and «Connect network drive» are all bright (no dark mode).
- On Windows 10 versions older than Windows 10 version 1809, the title bar is white by default. However, you can choose to use the Windows 10 accent color for all the title bars, e.g. dark blue.
- On Windows 10 version 1809 or newer, the context menus do NOT change between light and dark mode when you change the mode in Configuration — Options — Color until you close and re-open Total Commander
- On Windows 7 with themes disabled, changing between light and dark mode causes problems in the Lister main menu until you close and re-open lister
Please also report other problems in this forum, if possible one major problem per thread.

Total Commander 9.50 Now Supports Native Dark Theme
If you are a fan of dual-pane file managers, Total Commander is the app that needs no introduction to you. It is definitely the best app of its class, , mature, feature rich, and very powerful. Starting in version 9.50, the app adds support for native dark mode available in Windows 10.
Dark theme in Total Commander
Here is how it looks:
You can enable or disable it from settings under Option > Display > Color. Also, It can be enabled on the operating systems released prior to Windows 10.
On Windows 10, you can make it follow the Personalization color option. The following video demonstrates it in action.
The automatic dark mode feature works on Windows 10 1809 or newer. You can turn on it manually on Windows XP and newer.
Total Commander is always about great features, not just about themes. Version 9.50 includes the following new options.
Online Installer
Total Commander 9.50 now comes with a new installer that is able to download the most recent available app version on today. The offline setup method is still supported, but requires extra steps. Check out the following page .
Better USB Device Support
There is a new option in wincmd.ini that hides USB devices without drive letter from drive button bar. Set it as:
Another change made to USB device handling is the ability to show up to 3 connected USB devices without drive letter (e.g. phones, tablets) also in drive buttonbar.
Also for the Drive drop-down list and drive buttonbar Total Commander can show the «eject» overlay over the drive icon for external USB hard disks. This can be Enable/Disable via wincmd.ini:
History Entries to Store
You can define the option HistoryLenStored= in wincmd.ini under the [Configuration] section to set a number of entries in history to be stored to wincmd.ini [LeftHistory] and [RightHistory]. Default=200 on NT based systems, same as HistoryLen on 9x/ME due to limited max ini size.
Directory history thinning
Total Command will only add a directory to its navigation history if the user stayed there for x seconds, or performed any file operation in that location. The hotkey Alt+Shift+Down arrow (and a new command cm_DirectoryHistoryNoThinning) shows the history list without thinning.
- wincmd.ini > [Configuration] > HistoryThinningDelta=5000 defaults to 5 seconds the user must stay in a directory to keep it in the history.
- wincmd.ini > [Configuration] > HistoryThinning=1/0 turns thinning on / off.
- wincmd.ini > [Configuration] > HistoryThinning=1, HistoryThinningDelta=0 enables thinning only when the user starts some operation in the directory, not by timeout.
‘Everything’ search tool integration
If you are using Everything as you search tool, here are a couple of changes in version 9.50 you may find useful:
- Search with ‘Everything’: Show percent of the search results transferred to Total Commander and added to the result list (Everything reports the total number of found files)
- Search with ‘Everything’: Show command sent to ‘Everything’ in search status bar. Repeated calls are shown with the file numbers requested, e.g. 10000-.
- Find files: Automatically check ‘Everything’ option when using prefix ev: or ed: in search field.
Other changes include
- You can now directly upload files from archives to FTP and preserve timestamps if the server supports it.
- Three new internal commands: cm_SwitchDarkmode to switch dark mode on/off, cm_EnableDarkmode to switch it on and cm_DisableDarkmode to switch it off.
- Support substrings from environment variables, e.g. %variable:
Besides these, version 9.50 introduces plenty of various improvements made to encoding support for archive, search, Lister, and plugin support.

But this isn’t free. I instead use https://www.softwareok.com/?seite=Freeware/Q-Dir
There is also an open source alternative, Double Commander. I use it on Linux. It is also available for Windows.
Thanks Sergey! Had tried all before zeroing on Q-Dir. Works for me.
Download Total Commander 9.50 beta:
WARNING: This is a pre-release version. Do not use this version with critical data!
IMPORTANT: Currently the new functions are available only in English and German. More languages will be added soon.

Well, No longer in Beta
Now you can update to 9.50 from their download page:
And speaking about updates and Total Commander, I bought a license quite a few years ago, when it was called Windows Commander and was around version 4.0 And that same license, which is more than twenty years old, still lets me update the program and keep it licensed! How cool is that? This, and the ton of functions Total Commander really has under the hood (you have to find about them: it’s really “everything and the kitchen sink”), really make worthwhile buying that program over any other wannabe alternative, and paying the guy for his work.
Total Commander 9.50 добавил поддержку темной темы для Windows 10, Windows 7 и Windows XP
Total Commander – один из самых популярных файловых менеджеров, который является удачной заменой стандартному проводнику, и входит в рекомендуемый пакет «топ лучших программ» для Windows.
Total Commander
Total Commander обладает знаменитым 2-панельным интерфейсом, который зарекомендовал себя, как самый удобный способ работы с файлами еще со времен Norton Commander. Однако, программа обросла тонной полезных инструментов, обладает расширениями и плагинами, которые расширяют функционал файлового менеджера.
Total Commander
Total Commander обладает встроенным ftp-клиентом, встроенным загрузчиком файлов из интернета, встроенным инструментарием для работы с жесткими дисками, обладает функциями UUE/MIME/XXE кодирования, декодирования и разрезка/склейку длинных файлов, а также подробнейшим поиском файлов.
Total Commander
Также файловый менеджер обладает встроенным просмотрщиком графических и видео файлов, умеет работать с множеством архивов (ZIP, ARJ, LZH, RAR, UC2, TAR, GZ, CAB, ACE).
Total Commander
Продвинутым пользователям понравится тонкая настройка программы, вплоть до мелочей. Также поддается кастомизации интерфейс программы для лучшего визуального восприятия.
