[EuiDataGrid] Enable row background color on hover for `stripes={true}` #8983

acstll · 2025-08-27T09:28:33Z

Summary

This PR adds a visual change to EuiDataGrid related to the background color of rows on hover, specifically when using stripes (stripes prop equals true).

The original design spec within the Visual Refresh effort removed the hover state color change for stripes. After further alignment with teams, this has been ~~reverted~~ reworked.

Why are we making this change?

To make sure the design spec is implemented equally and consistently.

Screenshots

Hover states for striped data grids, in light and dark mode.

Impact to users

🟢 No direct impact. These visual changes ensure UI remains almost the same while encouraging consistency.

QA

General checklist

Browser QA
- Checked in both light and dark modes
- Checked in both MacOS and Windows high contrast modes
  - ~~(emulate forced colors if you do not have access to a Windows machine.)~~
- Checked in mobile
- Checked in Chrome, Safari, Edge, and Firefox
- ~~Checked for accessibility including keyboard-only and screenreader modes~~
Docs site QA
- Added documentation
- Props have proper autodocs (using @default if default values are missing) and playground toggles
- ~~Checked Code Sandbox works for any docs examples~~
Code quality checklist
- Added or updated jest and cypress tests
- Updated visual regression tests (not needed)
Release checklist
- A changelog entry exists and is marked appropriately.
- ~~If applicable, added the breaking change issue label (and filled out the breaking change checklist)~~
Designer checklist
- If applicable, file an issue to update EUI's Figma library with any corresponding UI changes. (This is an internal repo, if you are external to Elastic, ask a maintainer to submit this request)

@JoseLuisGJ for awareness, just in case there's any work to do related to this, in the current code/design parity effort 👀

packages/eui-theme-borealis/src/variables/_components.ts


    buttonGroupFocusColor: SEMANTIC_COLORS.plainLight,

+    dataGridRowStripesBackgroundHover: SEMANTIC_COLORS.shade130,


❓ Where was this color defined? The design specs states shade-15 but I don't see any specs for dark mode 🤔

yep, it's indeed missing from the spec so I "made it up" deriving it from other light/dark pairs, so it needs validation from design (I was expecting this to come up during testing in Kibana, to adjust if needed, but both Kate and Laura are on PTO)

Oki, yeah then let's wait for @ek-so to confirm or provide required specs once she's back 👍

Thank you both! 130 is the correct color.
