I've just updated a project to version 2016.1.112, and now the row that the mouse pointer hovers over is highlighted (see attached image). How can this be turned off?
Also, whilst it is now possible to filter for null dates, the Boolean columns on the grid, still only offer a true/false option. Is it possible to add an is null option?
Thanks

Hi
Got the same problem with the hovering rows - Need to turn them off
Regards
The Appearance help topic has been updated to include instructions on how to disable the hover style.
Apologies for the caused inconvenience.

Applying the CSS fix to stop this behaviour (as per the updated documentation) isn't satisfactory. Alternative grid rows still loose their background colour, and the font-colour still changes.
This is a frustrating as this is a new 'feature' that wasn't included in the listed changes, and can make a significant difference to the default visual grid behaviour. Whilst on some colour schemes and grids the effect may be subtle, on others, with more complex grids a colour schemes, the application is effectively broken (text becomes unreadable, users get confused etc.) . Why wasn't this new feature made optional by default?
How can I ensure that rows don't change when hovered over?



I have managed to stop this happening, but I've had to hack the css theme file, to remove the k-grid tr:hover style. Not something that should be required.
I think this is an ill-thought through 'feature'.
I am sorry to hear that the new feature isn't liked.
Basically, there are two ways to remove the hover styling. One is to open the Kendo UI theme CSS file (e.g. kendo.default.min.css) and remove the following CSS rule:
.k-grid tr:hover {
/* ...background styles here... */
}
The other option is to use the following CSS code to override the hover styling:
.k-grid tr:not(.k-state-selected):hover {
background
:
none
;
color
: inherit;
}
.k-grid tr.k-alt:not(.k-state-selected):hover {
background
:
#f1f1f1
;
}
The #f1f1f1 value corresponds to the background color of .k-alt table rows. You can find the correct value for the Kendo UI theme that you are using by using the browser's DOM inspector. Alternatively, set a background color value or your preference.
