I try to set custom even and odd colors of GridCtrl. Then I switch on Coloring mode - ColorRows() , - but GridCtrl set for even rows some default color.

I try to set directly ColoringMode(2); - work fine - custom colors are right.

I found code, which very strange -

		GridCtrl& ColorRows(bool b = true) { return ColoringMode(2 * b).EvenColor(); }

And see to EvenColor definition :

		GridCtrl& EvenColor(Color fg = SColorText, Color bg = Blend(SColorHighlight, SColorPaper, 220));

That is, the operator

ColoringMode(2 * b).EvenColor();

call EvenColor without parameters - thus replaces my custom color.

Maybe this logic is wrong?

I suggested that in some cases so convenient to initialize color even lines by default.

But what about when you need to set their color does not match the default.

I propose that the code

		GridCtrl& ColorRows(bool b = true) { return ColoringMode(2 * b).EvenColor(); }

replaced by the code

		GridCtrl& ColorRows(bool b = true) { return ColoringMode(2 * b); }

, and the even color initialize another method.
