Try using column icons instead of changing the background.

Lol! I have so many icon rules. Rules that show up in their own dedicated columns. One for Goodreads (read, to be read, unfinsihed, etc), one for the book source (library, Amazon, Smashwords, Author Website, paperback), one for the read status - just the same as the one for Goodreads, just so that I am sure that what I have in Goodreads matches the ones in the booklist, I have icons next to my dates so that I know if they have the original file name as created by the get file name plugin, I have columns indicating if the comments of the books have been set a specific way (I copy over multiple columns into the comments so the book jackets and catalogs have better info).
So, yes I use columns. I wanted to have the changes in background because I also use the color rules to indicate if there is a book wihout a format, but does have a source (indicating a lost file), but I didn't want to use another icon for it, and have just resorted to changing the text color.
Now that I know the reasons why the background rules can't be made, I know not to ask again.
Thanks!
