Possible to alternate background color for each line?
 
My cmud background is currently black. I was wondering if there is a way to alternate the background color for each line received or each 2 lines received.

It would help a ton for situations like:

rock .......................................................... 1 gold
apple......................................................... 3 gold
scam ........................................................ 10000gold
fish ........................................................... 4 gold
(Only w/o the dots to connect the lines.)

When there are 20 items on a shop and nothing to show connections, it's hard to tell what costs what. I can stare at it for a while, or I can mouse highlight the line and see which connect to what, but I'd really like to just glance at it and know.

But I don't have any specific text or times to use the alternating color, I just want it all the time.

Code:
#var linecolor 0
#trigger {^%w*gold$} {
  #if (@linecolor) {#cw white,black} {#cw black,white}
  linecolor = (!@linecolor)
}


If you ONLY want it to happen in particular instances, you need to provide start and stop lines that you can match that don't change.
