Account Registers - Colored Rows in Acct Registers (38 Legacy Votes)
What would be really helpful; and don't get me wrong here, the program is a nice start from the "Essentials'disaster BUT you really need to work on the input windows for the accountregisters. It should be the way Quicken 2007 displayed the accounts windowslike a regular checkbook register. The colored lines made it easier to read andwhen you were finished updating the transaction you hit the return key and itgoes to the next transaction line. Not so with 2017. It tries to hard to dazzleyou with eye-candy and less with functionality. Also, I liked the way Quicken2007 handled the reconciliation process. It showed you which transactionsmatched and it was easier to understand for us non-accountant types
Mod Edit:
Please only vote for the option to have the 'option for colored rows of account registers' at the top here.
The second IDEA has been split off for easier voting here:
Stay in Edit Mode or to Hit Return/Enter To Open New Transaction

This one will remain to vote for the 'option for colored rows of account registers'. The second IDEA has been split off for easier voting here:
Stay in Edit Mode or to Hit Return/Enter To Open New Transaction

IDEA-Could Quicken ADD a SPECIAL COLOR OPTION TO HIGHLIGHT A SPECIAL TRANSACTION WOULD BE VERY HELP TO ME. FLAGS ARE GOOD 4 NOW.

Could not have said it better myself! The White in the register is BRIGHT!
I know the product manager has said that the display of registers, including the alternate row shading, is done by calling on functionality built into the macOS core graphics framework. So the real question about making the shading darker or allowing users to select different shading colors, is whether the macOS core code allows for this. If so, it should be easy to add. If not, adding this functionality would require a major project to re-write the screen output in Quicken.
BTW, I was dreading losing the clean and simple Quicken 2007 Mac, but am extremely happy with 2019. Well done!
