Personally, it feels like the colors is way too much I it really doesn't help me at all when I look in the filelist of the Archive. There are too many different colors in the list and if I would have to choose between the clean white background of the filelist or the one you have with different colors, I would choose the clean white background.
If I have understand this correctly, the user will have the option of turning these colors off and use the white background instead and the question is if the colors should be turned on by default. I think it would be better if they where turned off by default. If you choose to have different colors in the filelist then I have a suggesion of how you could improve this.
Let the user have 3 different settings for the color coding of the filelist.
1) Same as you have in your screenshot with colors for filetype, maxsize, maxcompression etc.
2) No colors at all with white background (default settings)
3) User defined color coding of the list.
With user defined color coding, the user can choose to set a color for a specified filetype and then the whole row will have the same background color.
Example: If I choose to have all files in the archive that have the .xps fileextension set as lightblue, then the filelist will have white background for all the files except for the one that have this extension.
The filelist will be easier to read with only one color of each row instead of different colors in different columns of the same row
Kind Regards
