adding alternating shaded rows to a skin

[Anti]

I've not used any skins except the 'Windows Theme' skin, basically because very few skins have alternating shaded rows.
How easy is it to edit an existing skin and add alternate rows with colours I designate?

I read the tutorials, but couldn't find the answer.

Thanks.

Its really very easy.  If I can do it you can!  Do you have notepad++?  Makes things much simpler.

don't have MB at work so cannot double check but:

open the xml skin file you want to use and search for
Content[TrackDetail].ListAlternating.Default and Content[TrackDetail].ListAlternating.Disabled

on these lines bg represents the colours used. so for alternating values the two elements need different bg values.

if the skin you want to edit ends .xmlc (bitmap skin) you will need to grab the source files from the skin page and it gets slightly more complicated. (you can only directly edit regular xml files)

this is not a thorough explanation as my skinning is very rusty.  if you cant figure it out I'm sure someone with a fresher memory can help.
