Well, not to be defensive, but to correct a bit of a misapprehension, SCleese, alternating for colors worked fine for several years and have been only partially broken since 2.0. Still, 16 months is a long time to let such a regression stand. We will fix it but have had very few reports from people who have noticed the regression and felt it important enough to bring to our attention, so we've focused our effort elsewhere.
