set_rules_hint() was always a hint for the theme: it was never guaranteed to explicitly change the colour of the even/odd rows. to be fair, it should have been deprecated when we switched to gtk3: it's bad application API.
the default theme simply ignores even/odd colouring in treeviews. you will need a different theme that handles that. there have been various usability studies on the topic of "zebra striping", and it turns out that while it can help in certain data sets, so do other strategies like clearly separating rows with consistent ruling, or by visually separating the selected row with a different colour. in practice, though, zebra striping helps the most on paper (or any static medium, like a PDF); a dynamic medium, like a program UI, can use other strategies to visually differentiate rows. ciao, Emmanuele.
