We often use zebra striping of table data for easy viewing the reports. Highlighting even rows is good for viewing but they look strange on paper or in Excel table.  FastReport users have two methods for using highlighting only in preview window.

Method #1

You need to open report in the Designer and open the Style Editor from Report-Styles menu. Then we add a style with name "EvenRows" and set needed background color for even lines.  Then you need to set a band property EvenStyle = EvenRows. more...
