Thought it doesnt help with the visual clutter, but I do agree that it is a good enhancement. I am happy to help file a ticket if that is helpful

That would be pretty easy, as the generated HTML has an "even"/"odd" class.

You can even manually alternating row styles by bringing up the browser's developer console (F12) and manually adding the following rule to the applied styles

.ui-widget-content.slick-row.even {  background-color: #f8f8f8; }

I'm not suggesting that's that's a sensible user work-around, I'm just pointing out that that's how simple it would be...   just add the above line to the .CSS file.

Cheers,
Dave
