# Row style properties

The **row style properties** allow customization of **row colors, margins, and spacing**, enhancing readability and organization of table data.

***

## **Background Colors for Even and Odd Rows**

### **Enable Alternating Row Colors**

* **On:** Even and odd rows will use separate **background colors**.
* **Off:** Rows will have a **transparent background**, displaying the **table body background** instead.

> **Why use alternating colors?**
>
> * Improves readability.
> * Helps distinguish rows quickly.
> * Automatically adapts if a row spans **multiple lines**.

### **Even Row Color**

* Select a **color**, **gradient**, **texture**, or **pattern** for even-numbered rows.

### **Odd Row Color**

* Select a **color**, **gradient**, **texture**, or **pattern** for odd-numbered rows.

## **Row Margins**

Define spacing between **rows, table edges, and row content**.

| **Margin** | **Effect**                                                  |
| ---------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Left**   | Space between the **left edge** of the table and the row.   |
| **Top**    | Space between the **top of a row** and the row above it.    |
| **Right**  | Space between the **right edge** of the table and the row.  |
| **Bottom** | Space between the **bottom of a row** and the row below it. |

> **Tip:** Use **margins** to create visual separation between rows while keeping the **table body background visible**.
