Question Adding Grid Lines Between Columns???

I don't know if this is possible (I've been looking online since last night for an answer and cannot find one), but:
I would like to add Grid Lines / Column Lines between my various columns in my Calibre program.

I've attached an image when I photoshopped in a line between Titles and Authors to show what I would like to do.

Can one do this? If so, how does one do this?

P.S. After I posted, I did finally find another post where it says this can be done in Preferences/Look & Feel -- BUT I cannot find in L&F where to do this!

THANKS.

Is this what you're wanting to do:
Go to Preferences.
Look & Feel.
Main Interface.
Second from the bottom: (Draw a grid in the book list).

Otherwise, this is what I use and for me easier to read in the long run.

THANK YOU!

That is exactly what I was looking for. Alas, I'm using Dark Mode in Calibre, and the lines are so faint, you can barely see them.

See the attached photo.

I apologize for my delay in answering. I was in the middle of a major project with Calibre and could not turn it off for several days so I couldn't make that change until this morning.

I do wish certain parts of Calibre's Dark Mode were NOT so dark.

Thanks, again.
