Update to UI: Remove some borders

[tobiasdiez]

I tried to remove some 'clutter' in the UI by removing the gridlines and a few borders.

I am not immediately convinced that this a good idea. I am afraid that it makes it harder to align various fields of each entry visually when looking over a large database.

Agreed with Thomas. Although it looks cleaner, for those of us who have
older eyes, it may get a little tricky not having the gridlines.

Is there a way to make is as an option in Preferences?

I had the same filling.
What about a gray strip every five entries?

I think it's a fine idea of it can be toggled in the preferences.

Ok, I will add an option to toggle the gridlines on and off. Originally, I also planned to add alternating background colors to better distinguish between rows. However, since JabRef also allows for marking entries, I doubt that this is a good approach.

[ThomasA]

I think you're right about the background colours. It could easily collide with marked entries.

Also I am not a Java programmer (and may be because I am not...), I
believe it may not be difficult to add some gray to every five lines to
whatever is the color of the background (while, yellow, orange, red).

I added an option (under 'Appearance') to re-enable the gridlines. Moreover, it is now possible to change the row height.
