File Manager Header Colors was created by snowgoer540

One of the recent file manager updates added some welcomed additions. But no good deed... haha.

With the header came a bit of a color change. As can be seen below, the header has a grey background that makes the font hard to read. Is there an easy way to change the styling of this particular section?

Thanks!

play around with this added to the sylesheet:

QHeaderView::section {
    background-color:  foregnd;
    color: white;
    border: 1px solid #6c6c6c;
}

If you are interested - here is not a bad reference of stylesheets.

Well that got me there, albeit maybe a discovery is made too...

I'm on Mint 19.2. The color changes for Phill by just setting the background color.

For me, I have to set the background color and the border as well:

#filemanager QHeaderView::section {
    background-color:  backalt;
    border: 1px solid backalt;
}

Results in this:

Without the border line, the color refuses to change on Mint it seems.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I will definitely check out the link you provided.

We've discovered that

border: none;

works as well.

With my preferred stylesheet, the alternating row colors come out as grey and white with the white being unreadable. Some way to turn it off? Thanks.

Try this:

#filemanager QTableView {
alternate-background-color: red }

Thanks, but what I meant was I want alternating row colors turned completely off. The way to do it is to insert the following in the handler file, generally in a section responsible for initializing widgets.

        self.w.filemanager.list.setAlternatingRowColors(False)
        self.w.filemanager.table.setAlternatingRowColors(False)

Where self.w.filemanager is the object name of the filemanager widget inserted into the ui file.

This works in the stylesheet too:

QTableView{
qproperty-alternatingRowColors : false
}
