Can't get Zebra colors to work any more!!

Post by mwoffenden »

For many, many years I have enjoyed "green bar" colors, that is, every other line in the file list a light green.

I do remember the setting was front and center and easy to find. However now in the latest version (23) I cannot locate where to set the alternating color.

Help!

Yes, tried that. I cannot see any way to set the alternating row color:

You may also need to have "Show grid" selected under menu Tools > Customize List.

Show Grid was already set. Still no alternating rows and no way to select the color.

In years past I remember this was so easy, it was right there to select the alternating color.

OK, do you also have "Zebra stripes: Alternate rows" selected in Configuration > Colors and Styles > Highlights & Dark Mode > Grid Style?

Yes. In my version they are numbered 1-5. I have selected 1.

So for highend's reply, did you actually click on "Grid" when you went to Configuration | Colors and Styles | Colors | List Drop-down: Browse? And then, did you click somewhere in the color chart to obtain the greenish color you desire and follow that with hitting OK? When that is done correctly, that color you selected will be shown in the Grid block itself? And of course, you have to be in "Detail" view to see the result.

Thanks for everyone's replies.

I got it to work by selecting a grid color. I think I was looking for "alternate row color" or something more clearly stated. "Grid" did not catch my eye as what I was looking for, even though it was.
