Maciej, You need to join the KDE usability team :> I never noticed before, but you sure are correct. There is a very light gray background on some folders and not others. Could that be the alternative background color? As in the message list, but with a wrong alternative background color? Allen, ok, thank you ;-) I will check the general KDE-UT mailing list. I would like to help, so if the traffic doesn't kill me... The grey color background does not match the alternative list color in the KDE wide scheme. I fail to see how this is an usability issue, though. This is a usability issue if you've got an inverted color scheme, and every other item is displayed as white text on a white backgroud ;) But I don't have inverted color scheme. Btw. I use Kmail from OS 10.3 and there is no regular KMail available, only enterprise edition and it seems to be fixed here. What dialog are you actually referring to? The move dialog of filters (Settings->Configure Filters->Filter Actions->Move Into Folder) ? Thomas, click LMB for example in inbox on any message and then use "move message to folder". The dialog will appear -- so this is that dialog (maybe it is the same dialog you pointed out). Ah yes, that is the same dialog like the one I mentioned above and also the same as the "Jump to folder" dialog. The code uses custom alternate row coloring, which is really buggy. I've already removed that code for trunk (revision 656303). Right now, that dialog has no alternate row coloring at all, but will get it again as soon as it is completely ported to Qt4 (which has built-in support for it), Because trunk does not have this bug, I'll mark it as fixed. This may be flogging the issue to death, but here's a list of the places I see this behavior... "Find messages" > "Search only in..." > (Click folder icon) > "Select Folder" dialog Settings > Configure kmail > Identities > (choose one) > Modify > Advanced > (choose Sent-mail or Drafts folder) > "Select Folder" dialog similar for Accounts > Receiving > (choose an imap account) > Modify > Trash Folder ...and of course the move dialog. And perhaps there are other places I missed, but assumably this buggy code is only implemented once and called from several places. Hopefully, anyway! As for a usability issue, *I* have an inverted color scheme, thus my comment... http://david9.freepgs.com/i/kmail_alt_color.png There, now it's thoroughly beaten to death ;D Thanks for the fix! > This may be flogging the issue to death, but here's a list of the

Yes, all the places you listed share the same code.
