Was class="Alternate" removed from comments?

StumpyJoeStumpyJoe ✭
in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8

I wanted to alternate the bgcolor of comments in a discussion, and searching here I saw a few times people suggested using the "Alternate" class in the default css, but I think that was for Vanilla 1?

Looking at my default 2.0.18.4 css I don't see the "Alternate" class...nor do I see it added to the webpage's source code when I view page source.

Is there new/better/different way to alternate the bgcolor between comments in a discussion? Thanks.

    learn to use firebug or similar solve all these sort of issues you won't need to ask these type of questions again.

    .Discussion .DataList .Item{

}

.Discussion .DataList .Alt{

}

.Discussion .DataList .Mine{

}

    grep is your friend.

    You need to soak up how to modify a theme. read 422's documentation and go through whu606' sample plugin

    add this to your custom.css and then see if it changes colors. Then click awesome or insightful once in a while, if you get any help.

    div#Content .Alt {
    background-color: green;
    }

    Thanks for both the quick answer and the good advice. Looking into Firebug now.
