We need some theme-ready alternate background-color styles
Hi Folks,
I want to add my support for some alternate background-color styles to
be supported by ThemeRoller.
EXAMPLE: the (most excellent) jqGrid plugin is now mostly ThemeRoller-
ready. One missing piece is ONE alternate-row shading style for the
various ThemeRoller themes.

Look at it this way: some day jQuery-UI WILL have a grid and, when it
does, it will need this style because alternate-row styling is a basic
and quasi-universal feature of grids.
EXAMPLE: We need a ThemeRoller-supplied style for marking "required"
fields for those of us who occasionally indicate required fields using
background shading. This is a legacy-code thing.
I know we can just as well use on-the-side icons from the ones
supplied, but considering how easy it is to integrate ThemeRoller into
an existing web application, it's a shame that there isn't even one
style for highlighting particular input controls. For the most part a
yellow background is fine, except when you get into the green and some
darker themes, where yellow just doesn't work. This really needs to
be in ThemeRoller.
These are BOTH easy-gets: two new styles, a few bytes, very simple,
end of story.
