What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

When in Windows 10 High Contrast Mode the list view has the background of every other entry white, making the text unreadable.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Turn on High Contrast Mode and start Dolphin.

Is the issue present in the latest development version? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest development version.

5.0-14318

Is the issue present in the latest stable version?

Not tested

If the issue isn't present in the latest stable version, which is the first broken version? (You can find the first broken version by bisecting. Windows users can use the tool https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-green-notice-development-thread-unofficial-dolphin-bisection-tool-for-finding-broken-builds and anyone who is building Dolphin on their own can use git bisect.)

Not tested

If your issue is a graphical issue, please attach screenshots and record a three frame fifolog of the issue if possible. Screenshots showing what it is supposed to look like from either console or older builds of Dolphin will help too. For more information on how to use the fifoplayer, please check here: https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=FifoPlayer

A possible fix is to query high contrast on startup and whenever WM_THEMECHANGED is detected, then call SystemParametersInfo function with uiAction set to SPI_GETHIGHCONTRAST. If High Contrast is enabled, then set the "shaded" lines to the default Windows background color like the "unshaded" lines.

Info for the SystemParametersInfo function can be found at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-systemparametersinfow
