Row backgrounds with windows 10 dark theme
I just upgraded my system to windows 10 version 1903. I have third party themes enabled and I'm using a dark overall theme. The problem is that with this version of windows, calibre column view and calibre preference show a light background for every other row (see image). I looked through calibre's preferences and couldn't find a setting to control this. How do I make it so all row backgrounds are dark?
Note: I did not have this issue with windows 10 1709, which I was running before this upgrade. Thanks, -WS |

Preferences: Look and Feel:General (tab) There used to be a setting to alternate row colors. It is not there in the beta 3.99.8

@theducks - it's not there in 3.47.1 either, been gone for ages.
Try changing the Preferences->Look and Feel->User interface style (needs restart): setting. BR Last edited by BetterRed; 09-27-2019 at 08:02 PM. |

Or try the Job Spy plugin's GUI Tool: Change GUI Text and Alternating Row Colors ==>> Index of plugins

Thanks @BetterRed! I changed the user interface style to System default and that resolved the issue.
Maybe I had used the setting in the older version of calibre (I haven't formatted since calibre 3 came out) and the setting stuck even though the option was gone from preferences? I was definitely not using System default earlier. Thanks though, this resolved my issue |
