Hello

I'm a new (and frustrated) user of KDE, coming from another DE.

How can I get rid of the alternate row colors in Dolphin, which makes it almost impossible to use it with certain color schemes?

Thanks!

Alternate row color

Alternate row color can be changed with the color settings: KDE System Settings > Colors. If the view Normal & Alternate Background colors are same there won't be the stripes.



The Dolphin alternate row color is set at : ../src/kitemviews/kitemlistwidget.cpp line 118:

Code: Select all

const QColor backgroundColor = m_styleOption.palette.color(QPalette::AlternateBase);

Thank you!

Thats handy to know but after doing this and setting an identical secondary color it would be important (for me at least) to have the whole line highlight when files are selected (not just the filename) so i can see what date, permissions, group etc are associated with the selected files.

Can i do this ? thx.

- Bug 275655 - Dolphin should highlight entire selected row instead of just the folder when in details-view-mode : https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=275655
- Bug 379350 - Full horizontal highlight : https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=379350

darn, thx though

What I usually do for this is take the normal view background and then adjust the Value (brightness) by a few points (up or down, to taste) - just enough to be able to distinguish the rows without too much glaring contrast.

use STANDARD palette in

qt5ct

else Qt uses a separate palette independently from KDE sysSettings
