[SOLVED]How to change this cyan blue color in Dope Sheet panel in 2.8?

I am using version 2.80.42 which downloaded in Blender official page.

I tried changing the color of “Dope Sheet” section in Themes panel. I found none of them response to the cyan blue background.

The light blue? Dope Sheet > Channels for left side. Right side is Dope Sheet > Channels Selected.

Play with the channels marked in pure red in this image

Those are the ones i changed to make everything red, without the ability to change colours

By default, in view menu, there is Show Group Colors option enabled.
It means that colors of Bone Groups are used to color channels in dopesheet.

But Bone Groups colors are missing an alpha channel : this why result is so ugly with Rigify Bone Groups colors.

The best idea would probably be to disable this Show Group Colors option until Bone Groups colors can handle an alpha value for bone channels.

thanks FinalBarrage, zeauro.

Yes, disable “Show Group Colors” is the workaround solution now. At least the texts show up.

here is FYI for new user like me:

That’s not what’s in the picture, LOL. You would need to expand “Object Transforms”. Looks like @zeauro figured it out. I didn’t even notice a rig was selected.

This option change to Preferences>Animation >Channel group color
