Yes, but only for files that are completely unmodified. In this case I
have files like this:

File Text status Property status
-----------------------------------------
File1.cpp normal modified
Image1.png modified normal
File1.h modified modified

...and so on.

The small difference makes quick "scanning" of the list difficult.

I tend to overlook that all the time, don't I?

Two possible solutions:
1.) Use the color that is used for files that are entirely normal (black
that is) for the word "normal".
2.) Create a configurable color for "normal" (both complete files and
the word), and let it default to some darker gray shade. I think this
would provide improved readability for the commit and check for
modification dialogues.
