Subject:    Bug#32849: In the file selector, alternating lines are unreadable because of dark background color

Package: koffice
Version: 1.1 (using KDE 2.2.0 )
Severity: normal
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs
Compiler:          gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Linux-Mandrake 8.0 2.96-0.48mdk)
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: I downloaded binaries, so I'm not sure if the compiler is relevant

On my system, the file selector in all of the koffice applications displays results \
with the background color alternating between the regular window background color and \
a darker color.  This is a great idea--it makes lines in the fileselector easier to \
hit with the mouse. Unfortunately the dark color is so dark that my black text \
doesn't show up very well against it.  :(

I've looked around KDE and have been unable to find a color setting for the \
alternating highlight lines in the file selector.

I think it would be nice if the alternate-line highlighting were done very subtly, \
with only a slight variation of the normal window background color.  This would keep \
things readable but still make the file selector more usable.

Thanks for Koffice!

zo.
