    Hello,
    You can create a TcxStyle, set its TextColor property to the required color and set the TableView.Styles.Background property to this style.
    I hope that this information helps.

        Ok, so I applied the HotFix in the correct PAS file but the results seems the same (see Image),
        I have done a complete build on this test application and there is no change to the text using
        DarkSide (still almost unreadable). Do I need to reinstall, rebuild the package/bpl or something else?

          Hello,
          I have tested this fix and it works correctly on my side. It is necessary to perform the following actions to apply this hotfix:

          1. Change the source file in the <Installation folder>\ExpressQuantumGrid\Sources\ folder according to the published hotfix;
          2. Run our installer in "Recompile" mode.

            Ok so i've done that (twice now) and done a full rebuild of the test app. Same result i'm afraid .
            Not to worry, i can change the background grid colour easy enough to silver for now until you can
            maybe add a property to the Skin Editor, which i feel is a better solution to fix it…
