Piano Keys/Zebra Stripes in GNU Emacs

Piano Keys/Zebra Stripes in GNU Emacs

[jtrimble]

Does anyone know if there is already a mode out there that does this?

I've been using Aptana Studio recently and found a feature I've grown
attached to - piano keys (zebra stripes) in the editing buffer.  I find it
helps me navigate code a little quicker.  I've been learning Emacs and have
found that I'd really like to see this feature available.  Any info here
would be much appreciated.  Thanks in Advance!

Can you describe this feature to someone not familiar w/ those terms?

This would show each alternating horizontal line in the editing buffer
as a different color, such as white and really light gray.

Dmitry - I tried that file with 22.3 and it didn't seem to work.  This
shouldn't make a difference, but i'm using emacs in Windows Vista.
