Look. I really like this program. I've completely abandoned windows explorer and use Far Manager everyday.
That said, the default look is... not ugly, it really isn't. But I thought to myself, it could be prettier. (I don't have any nostalgia for the MS DOS days, cause I never experienced them.)
So, provided with the various enhancements made possible by ConEmu (Far Manager and ConEmu, a must-have combination, in my opinion) I set out to customize the look to something that works for me.
Here it is:
Do you like it? Have you done anything similar? It doesn't have to be this extreme, just share what your Far Manager looks like, it might give somebody some inspiration!

I think most of the people here is pretty conservative and are Ok about blue classic theme 
I only added some wild coloring for hardlinks, added some custom column to see some properties.

The arrangement of my panels looks a little strange, but useful to me

What do you need? There are already some instructions on how to achieve this look in my original post.

Hello ImBringingTaxicab. Thanks a lot for sharing your customizations with us. I have started to reproduce your settings on my system with ConEmu and Far Manager, but I have a couple of questions about how you did it.
First, what did you do to get the right angle bracket ">" to appear in yellow before the filename, even though the color of the executables is green?
Second, I have gone ahead and added additional entries in the menu for "Options > Files Highlighting" to include Text, Videos, Audio, and Images.
Edit a single row such as "Images." In the panel for "Files highlighting > File name colors > (select 1-8) > Color", I'm pretty sure you did something with the Foreground only. How did you get the color selections? Did you enable VT Rendering? What color numbers did you use for each filetype?
Thanks for your time.
