# isEmphasized

Determines whether the row will draw with the alternate or secondary color (unless overridden).

```
var isEmphasized: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

When emphasized is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true>, the view will draw with the [`alternateSelectedControlColor`](/documentation/AppKit/NSColor/alternateSelectedControlColor) defined by [`NSColor`](/documentation/AppKit/NSColor). When <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false> it will use the [`secondarySelectedControlColor`](/documentation/AppKit/NSColor/secondarySelectedControlColor) defined by [`NSColor`](/documentation/AppKit/NSColor).
