I don't think this feature has been added yet. I was doing the same thing myself a couple of days ago and yes, the code is not pretty at all. Since we have to define styles for every possible type of cell(string, decimal, comma formatted, percentage sign formatted etc.), and then define the same styles for both odd and even numbered rows but just with different foreground colors, it ends up being a lot of style definitions.
And the code for applying these styles is equally ugly. This is such a basic feature and it would be great if this was implemented.

The problem is still the same: I would like to add a alternating row color every second row, but as there might be some styles, that have been assigned to a cell already, I would have to create a lot of cellstyles just for line alteration. So what happened to this "row background color feature"? Or are there any other solutions to this problem?
