Thank you for inquiring about the row shading option, @frn. Having this option is highly beneficial since it enhances the program's visual clarity. I'll share the latest information on this topic.

However, we greatly value your input and encourage you to submit your ideas directly through QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).
