[feature request] Alternating background color for library entries in Windows
On the current homepage for Zotero, there is an image of the Zotero interface for Mac OS that shows library entries with alternating background color and divider lines between columns. It also shows the collections pane with a different background color than the library pane.
My request is to allow users on Windows, Linux etc. to change background color of panes (library, collection, item, tag), add alternating background color for library entries, column divider lines, and in general change more colors in the interface. If there is already an option to do this, I am not aware of it.

For what it's worth, we follow system conventions here — macOS generally uses alternating rows and a different sidebar color, while Windows doesn't do either. (Compare macOS Finder and Windows File Explorer.) But in a future redesign we might unify the design a bit more and stop adhering to questionable Windows UI conventions…
Hopefully I can edit the custom CSS to fit my current desires
This would be a very welcomed feature!
Thanks, Zotero developers.

Install the add-on in Zotero, then go to Edit, Settings or Preferences, Style, and enter desired colors for rows
You can choose colors as AliceBlue or Cornsilk.
You can also find more colors from here (or search for css colors)

It is better also to identify the color of selected or active row or item
My colour setting for the odd rows' background colour in Zotero Style is rgba(0,0,255,0.06) - transparent blue. With the background selected item colour set to gray - rgba(0,0,0,0.2).
