Like yourself (I imagine), I am getting to that age where my old eyes don't like looking at computer screens with light backgrounds and dark fonts; I get watery eyes and a headache after an hour or so.

In Konqueror, you need to check both <Settings> and <View/Configure Background>; but it seems like you have already done that. What you need to next is found in <TCC/Appearance & Themes/Colors/Alternate Background in Lists>. (I have attached two screenshots, one of Konqueror, one of TCC, which ought to be self-explanatory.) For this last component, you may wish to search for a config file, with extension .kcsrc (in the old KDE3). The TDE equivalent for this file has the extension .kksrc, but otherwise they just reuse the same old KDE3 config. * Small problem here: I forget where it's kept in Trinity. When I install my system, I now just run a command that copies over all my settings, the same settings that I've been using since 2006 or so, in KDE3 and then TDE. (I am doing a search, using Konqueror, but it's slow.) ** Two possible locations: /home/<USERNAME>/.kde/share/apps/kcmkeys -or- /opt/trinity/share/apps/kcmkeys (However, my desktop seems to obey the config file that resides in the first location. Somebody else can correct me, if this is wrong.) If you can find this config file and save backups of your original and your customized settings, you'll save some headaches, because it's easier than trying to recreate your preferred appearance. good luck Bill

I've been trying to figure out how to make my color scheme available to others, instead of the cookie-cutter default choices, but unless somebody draws me a map, I doubt that will happen. With a few broad hints, though, I could probably create a theme for TDE & perhaps others, like the newer KDEs, etc. Bill
