Subject: Checkerboard background colours
Date: Mon, 22 Feb 2010 17:42:48 +0100	[thread overview]

I'm trying to write a major mode for a data language that uses fixed
field widths. In order to highlight the fields, I'd like to change the
background colour so that adjacent fields do not have the same
background colour, creating a checkerboard effect.

How can I achieve this?

Please cc me as I am not subscribed.

Regards

Jeff
