View mode won't apply to left or right pane

[mrkpl125]

Hello,

I was trying to enable 'striped' view (even and odd lines to be shown in different color). I accessed Configuration -> Options -> View mode . Weird that the <default> view won't allow you to choose the background, but anyway I created a new view mode - named it 'Main' - and applyed a greish background 2 color to it.

I noticed that this only worked for the left pane. Unfortunately, the right pane remains as is, i.e. <default>. I thought that I may have needed to create a separate view mode for each pane, so I did ("Main 2"). Yet, now the right pane have this "Main 2" view mode selected whereas the left pane reverted to the <default> mode.

I'm a bit lost with how the view modes actually work. Isn't there an easy way to just enable striped view for all folders in both the right and left panes?

Thanks in advance.

To set alternating colors, set Options > Color > Background 2 to a color of your choice (and leave Background color as is). No need to use view modes here. But if you want to know how they work, I suggest to read the TC help; press F1 when in Options > View Mode.
