The first version filled the whole row at 24%, and in a real log that meant
every row was painted: nearly every contact has SOME QSL state, so colour was
present everywhere and stopped being information — a striped background with
the data behind it.
The default is now a 3px stripe down the left edge. Same signal, nothing lost
to read it. A filled row is still offered, with a strength slider, for
operators who want the block — and the rule cards in Settings preview whichever
is chosen, so the decision is made by looking rather than by imagining.
Drawn as an inset shadow rather than a border: a border would shift the cells
three pixels on coloured rows only, and the columns would stop lining up.
Style and strength are normalised rather than rejected — a value out of range
is a slider that got away, not a reason to reset the operator's colours.
