 * Hey everyone.
    I have a question regarding the alternating colors in the category
   section of the admin panel. There’s a point when the colors alternate between
   the categories in the display. Well the colors in my panel are dark so I have
   light letters, however the color it chooses to alternate with is white. So it
   makes it rather annoying to read to say the least :). I tried adjusting the .
   alternate section of the wp-admin.css file but that didn’t seem to do it. I know
   from the source code that in the wrap div the tr code pulls a “#eee” from out
   of nowhere that I can tell and if I can isolate that I guess I can tweak it. 
   I had a similar problem in the edit.php form so I played with this snippet. <?
   php if (empty($m)) $showposts = 15; include(ABSPATH.’wp-blog-header.php’); if(
   $posts) { $bgcolor = ”; foreach ($posts as $post) { start_wp(); $bgcolor = (‘#
   eee’ == $bgcolor) ? ‘none’ : ‘#eee’; ?> and inserted a darker color for the “#
   eee” which seems to suffice for now but I don’t know if that’s like a really 
   bad idea to do. What I did find for the categories.php was this bit of code <?
   php cat_rows(); ?> but I don’t know enough php to tell it how to use colors. 
   What’s simplest way to do this?

 * This can be fixed though, right?

 * The bug note says it already has been. Edit categories.php manually or upgrade
   to the latest CVS.

 * Well upgrade in my hands is a dangerous thing. As I said I don’t know a lot of
   php.
    Does anyone who knows php know how I might tweak the above code to work?
   Please?

 * If you are wondering about altering admin colours, go read the Dev Blog and hang
   on a day or two.
