Banner File Manager 1.1.0 — dark scrollbars.

A native Windows file manager for Bannerlator containers, forked from the Winlator File Manager by BrunoSX (MIT).

What's new

  • Dark scrollbars. The list and tree scrollbars were the last controls Wine still painted with the classic light look regardless of the container theme, leaving a white bar under the file list in both single and split view. They are now owner-drawn to match the active theme — trough, thumb and arrow buttons — including the corner square where a horizontal and a vertical bar meet.
  • They stay dark while you use them. Wine's scrollbar tracking runs its own modal message loop and repaints the bar itself while the button is held, so a press in the trough used to flash white until you let go. The bar is now repainted for the duration of the press.
  • Slightly smaller UI font — Segoe UI, one step down, across the list, tree, toolbar, address bar and column headers.

Light mode is unaffected: the system already renders these controls correctly there, so they are left alone.

Compatibility

Universal x86-64 build — runs natively under Box64, via wowbox64 in arm64ec containers, and under FEXCore. No arch-specific code.

Install

Place wfm.exe and libcdio.dll (needed for ISO mounting) together in a container's C:\windows\.
