Hello @Mark L,

I appreciate you for reaching out to us about the row shading. I would feel the same way in that situation regarding not getting any alerts of the changes in QuickBooks.

I can see how beneficial this option is for most of the users in the program. Allow me to chime in and help you bring this feature back to improve the visual display.

As of now, there's no update about this ability from our product engineers. While we assess this feature, I recommend you send feedback directly within the program.

Our engineers might consider your feedback or suggestion in future updates. Here's how:

1. Open QuickBooks Desktop.
2. Click the Help tab at the top menu bar.
3. Hover your cursor to Send Feedback Online.
4. Choose Product Suggestion or Help System Suggestion. 

There are times features are configured and replaced with a similar method. To keep you up to date with the changes, you can also click the Help tab and select the New Features option.

For additional reference, I've attached a link you can use about how an estimate affects the A/R workflow in QuickBooks: Create an estimate in QuickBooks Desktop.

Please don't hesitate to comment down below if you have other concerns related to creating estimates in Desktop. The Community and I will be around to help you.
