The script I attached will set up a :sign on every even line, to allow
it to work without interfering with syntax definitions, and to
highlight the entire line (even places in the line where there is no
text). The threads I refer to also show how to do it with syntax
definitions (which will interfere with existing syntax but be much
faster), or with matchadd() (which will not interfere with existing
syntax), however neither of these color the entire line, they only
color the part of the line with text in it.
The signs defined by the script will use the color defined by the
EvenLbg highlight group. This group does not exist by default. You
will need to add a highlight definition similar to the highlight
definitions in colorscheme scripts. For example,
:hi EvenLbg guibg=DarkRed
or
:hi EvenLbg guibg=#c0ffee
You will need to define this highlight group in a way which does not
get overwritten by your chosen colorscheme, assuming you have one.
One option is to add this definition to your .vimrc in a ColorScheme
autocmd:
autocmd ColorScheme * hi EvenLbg guibg=#c0ffee
Another option is to actually edit your chosen colorscheme to add this
line (preferably editing a copy placed in ~/.vim/colors on Unix, or
$HOME/vimfiles/colors on Windows; not the version in your runtime
files).
If you do not use any colorscheme you can just add the command to
your .vimrc directly.
