Calc row/column header shading

[bgaskin]

Hi there,

The row headers “1,2,3…” and column headers “A,B,C…” have a shading effect… half dark grey, half light grey.
Or for selected rows and columns… half dark blue and half light blue.

How can I have single-tone row/column header bars?

I find this semi-3d effect distracting, I would prefer my menus to be as simple and unintrusive as possible.

Many Thanks

Ben

They left the interior portion (right side on row headers, bottom side on column headers) dark grey but made the other part light grey. I find the visual clutter distracting, to the point that it sometimes makes it hard to focus on the letters/numbers in the headers. I’m sure it doesn’t bother most people, but for …

I realize this question is old, but has there been any change to this? I still see the distracting two-tone effect on version 6.0.7.3 with the dark theme enabled.

tdf#127508 was fixed to remove the shading completely and unconditionally, which will be available in version 6.4.
