Just as the title says, this will allow you to alternate the thread row colors when viewing each forums' thread display (i.e. have each thread row alternate instead of having each cell alternate). I noticed this was requested a while back on vBulletin.com and had been asked before, so here it is .
I don't believe the same modification has been released for vBulletin 3.0 that I have been made aware of, though if such has been released, please feel free to make notice.
Installation takes all of 2 minutes and requires modification to only 1 file and 1 template.

good thing that someone make it finally... i've added it myself for some clients, in a different structure (even smaller!) and to make it using less variables, let's play with it:
PHP Code:
$altclass = ($row_count % 2) ? $color1 : $color2;
can be transformed in
PHP Code:
$altclass = ($row_count % 2) ? 'alt1' : 'alt2';
with this, you don't need the first identification...
also, this hack can be applyed in showthread to make posts having alternate colors, and in search results too... it's not always activated, but it works already... i found many styles that were not using the alternate colors at all...
also, it would be good to have the threadbit modified in the instructions instead of a complete replace, because MANY guys here have modified theirs with the time...
1 Remark, would it be possible to give instructions on how to change the threadbit Template instead of only a replacement of the full Template. Some members might have already modified their threadbit template and don't want to replace it.
Edit: Crossposted with Nexialys, who beat me in this

The ZIP file has been updated with the new coding updates, thanks to Nexialys. I've also included instructions for Stock & Modified installations.
Please keep in mind, I do not have an overly modified threadbit template, so if you do encounter a problem with the display, please report it through this thread. Please also include the hack(s) you have installed that required you to modify the threadbit template.
Installation still should take only 2-3 minutes max.
How to get this hack work on Forum Home?
I want my forum list look like this.
Btw, nice hack...
I've not actually looked at that part of vBulletin's coding, though there is a way to do it by template conditionals, which has been explained in the thread below over at vBulletin.com.
