treeview__alternating_row_colours.patch

# GtkTreeView:  Add style classes to assist zebra striping
#
# A lot of users like the alternating row colors that many GTK+ 2 theme
# engines could and did draw; the alternating row colors enabled users
# to quickly find their way across a long list without getting lost or
# confused.  These alternating color patterns are known as "zebra stripes".
#
# Due to slow but steady code rot in the GtkTreeView source code, the
# mechanism to implement zebra striping was eventually removed, whether
# accidentally or intentionally.  This patch adds style classes to each
# tree view cell to indicate whether the cell is on an odd or even row,
# and whether the column that contains the cell is the column that is
# used to sort the tree view.  These style classes allow themes to choose
# appropriate background colors for each cell based on its position, rather
# than forcing the theme designer to color all cells the same.
#
# An example of zebra striping in action:
#
#   .caja-notebook treeview.even:not(:selected)
#   {
#     background-color: shade(@theme_base_color, .9);
#   }
#
#   .caja-notebook treeview.sorted.odd:not(:selected)
#   {
#     background-color: shade(@theme_base_color, .9);
#   }
#
#   .caja-notebook treeview.sorted.even:not(:selected)
#   {
#     background-color: shade(@theme_base_color, .81);
#   }
