Wireshark-bugs: [Wireshark-bugs] [Bug 10954] Qt Wireshark: General looks of packet entry

Date: Tue, 17 Feb 2015 19:50:33 +0000

Comment # 2 on bug 10954 from
I tend to look at mail readers' message lists as an example of displayed lists;
here's a screenshot of KMail 4.1, so that's one Qt-based app (albeit Qt as used
by KDE) displaying a list on some flavor of Linux:

(the article to which it belonged was at

    http://blog.jospoortvliet.com/2008/11/hero-of-today.html

).

It alternates grey and white, but doesn't have any visible lines between
packets.

And for a GTK+based app (albeit GTK+ as used by GNOME):

    https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evolution/Screenshots

which is similar - alternating background colors, but no lines.

For other platforms, OS X's Mail.app has neither lines *nor* alternating
background colors, and the same appears to apply to Windows Live Mail:

And, for what it's worth:

Built using gcc 4.8.3 20140911 (Red Hat 4.8.3-7).

does not show lines between packets on my Fedora 20 virtual machine (under KDE,
but I don't know if that affects *GTK+'s* themes), so maybe that's a GTK+
2.x-ism.
