Creating inner table borders and alternating cell colors a la VB3

[clubplanet]

I am attempting to model a vb4 forum after our old vb3 theme. I have pretty much everything done except I would like the tables to have inner borders and the alternating cell colors.
I am able to do alternating cell colors easily inside each sub forum, but do not have this option on the main page.
I also cannot find anyway to easily add the inner table borders. I am told this will need to be done manually.
Any help?

The problem is that the rows are no longer table rows - they are divs. And putting borders between divs is not as easy as putting borders between columns in a table. My guess is you have the default 'alternating' color on the forumdisplay page, but try making a really long title and see what happens - the color will have a gap at the bottom. You will either have to change the templates to go back to tables, or you will have to create an image that has the borders and alternating colors.

I'll try using an image background first. If that doesn't work I think I'll just tell my users to deal with it.
Thanks for the suggestion.

I just created an image and set it to forumrow_background and it's not showing up. Is this not how I should be setting it?

Update, I got it to display (i forgot to put (url) in there.
That being said, since its div, its not going to do what I want it to do anyway. It looks great on my screen but as soon as I view on another monitor, of course it looks all wrong. C'est la vie. Thanks for trying though. Theres no way im going back to tables, way too much work. User's will just have to get used to it.
