feature request: make the rows alternate between lighter and darker. #122

Open hmm5 opened 4 months ago

hmm5 commented 4 months ago

Can you make an option to make the rows alternate between lighter and darker so that it's easier to see which row is which when looking down the row.

E.g. like this. https://www.codeproject.com/KB/list/coloredlistctrl/ColoredListCtrl.gif

I think you would just need to alternate the background color of the text between black and a dark grey per row.

Thanks.

How does something like this, where you would change the color in config look.

Any thoughts @hmm5 @brandleesee Screen Shot 2024-03-15 at 17 00 02

Hi, can you use the darkest grey as possible. I think there just needs to be a slight color difference in the background between the rows, if it's too light, it also makes it harder to read the text in my opinion. Also I think the alternative rows need only be used for ticker stock information, and not the market information, e.g. the Dow, Tokyo, etc.

Thanks.

I really like where all this is going. My only comment is that the chosen colour must keep the green/red/white text clearly legible.

Hi, is this pretty much complete, or does more work need to be done.

Thanks.
