Hi there, I'm looking for a way to have alternating (very) dark line background colors in the main library view. When I just apply the standard interface to 'dark' theme, I get alternating black and darkgrey lines, but the darkgrey is still not sufficiently dark. For my eyes, the contrast between the alternating lines remains disturbingly high. I'd like something like 'black' versus 'veryverydarkgrey', or 'almostblackbutnotquite'

So, in order to have a dark theme, I am using the Job Spy plugin, currently 1.0.239. Among other things, it allows picking specific colors (BG1 and BG2) for the library view background. The problem with Job Spy is that it has many BG-colors to pick from, but they are all way to light. I am using this pluging for a long time now, but only to put both BG1 and BG2 to 'black', which seems to be the only way to have a non-disturbing dark background.
Alas, this implies that I can't have alternating background colors.

Can ayone help me out here? Is there another way? TIA. (Calibre 6.29 on Win10)
