#Setting windows grid background how to
Now you know how to customize the appearance of the Date Grid to your taste. To completely change the appearance of our application, you can choose one of the color themes. To see the results of your customizations in the table, you need to right-click on any grid cell and go to View/Format -> Colorize Data Types. These colors are quite contrasting and will look good on the light pink background we chose earlier. Please note that in this settings section, you can change the colors and fonts for many other UI elements of our app.įor example, here you can make your string values purple and binary values brown. Here you can see the default colors for binary, boolean, date/time, numeric and string data. To do this, you need to go to the same global settings item that we described above and open the folder “Resultset Data Types”. To make it more obvious which data types are used in cells, you can colorize the main five of them. This issue is especially relevant for tables with many columns that you often need to horizontally scroll to find the data you need.

For example, the String type data type can contain any characters, and you have to look at the column header every time to distinguish it from a date or a number. Click the Apply and Close button, and you will immediately see the result in your Data Grid.ĭatabase tables can contain many different data types, and it is sometimes easy to confuse them with each other. Now you can choose from a set of colors or use the palette to set your custom color. Double click on it or select it and click on the Edit button. In a folder called Database Query Results, you will find the item “Odd row background”. To do the same (or set any other color you like) you need to go to Preferences -> User Interface -> Appearance -> Colors and fonts. For our example, we chose a light pink color. If you would like to set a different color for odd rows, you can do so in the global settings of the app. Choose Data Editor, go to Appearance -> Grid and uncheck the box “Mark odd/even rows”. Go to Window -> Preferences -> General -> Editors. Yes, it’s not very easy, but still possible. If you want to make all your rows’ background white open the Main menu and find the required settings section. This is done for the convenience of the visual perception of the data. It allows you to view and edit data and metadata, visualize data, generate result sets for reporting, and much more.īut did you know that the Data Editor has default colorization settings that you can change and the grid will look like this? Let’s try to do so.Įven rows in the Data Grid have a white background, and odd rows have a light blue background. The Data Editor is one of the most powerful and useful DBeaver tools for most of our users.
