What do you mean by duplicate them? Do you mean make another class that is exactly the same as them only with a different name? You can view the class in your source code, look for .alt1 and .alt2 and copy/paste it into the bottom part of your CSS page for your style. Is that what you are asking?

I'm lost, too, Lynne but maybe he is just needs the code for them? class="alt1" and class="alt2" ?

Just copy .alt1 and .alt2 from the css for whatever reason.

why not just call alt1 and alt2 in your css rather then duplicating it which is bad practice

Let me clarify. I wanted to see the hard CSS code of the alternating colors. I didnt know where to find them.

To see the actual code, you would view the source code on your page and find it listed something like this:

.alt1, .alt1Active
{
background: #F5F5FF;
color: #000000;
}

Or, if it isn't in the source, look for a line like this:
<!-- CSS Stylesheet -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="clientscript/vbulletin_css/style-xxxxxx-yyyyy.css" id="vbulletin_css" />

and look in the file "style-xxxxxx-yyyyy.css" for the lines like above.

To actually edit it, go to Styles & Templates > Style Manager > find your style in the list > select Main CSS and find it under First Alternating Color
