alternating lines ?

[Igor Lerinc]

how to get sort of alternating lines ?
not sure how to explain it, but if i want to have one line that is of background of colorscheme, and line after that, to have like some sort of deviation in terms of highlight. and line after this, to be again, background of colorscheme.
something like i have for current line on cursor with

    :set cursorline
    :set cursorcolumn

but i want whole file what is displayed to have that. not too much (not too strong like cursorline, but still, sligthly noticeable, enought, so it can help me see in distance on what line some text resides. because, often I need to look up closer and see if the motion i'm gonna apply is really going to the line i want it to go (as often i miss it) and that slows me

using colorscheme atom-dark

"ledger" style. did a little googling but didn't get (any) useful results.

This is not natively possible in Vim, so we have to fall-back to using
signs (which can color complete lines, not just only the text within a
line). However, to keep it in sync while editing, you have to refresh
the signs often, which causes a performance penalty. How big is your
fiel?

You can of course customize the colors. Please read the help.

so, when i write this, this is how i like it

but then, it removes cursorcolumn and cursorline when it's activated.

any file loads badly. like, even if i fill file with only spaces ( \n ), it will be slow when i scrool it up and down. 

tried alacritty, but still same. 

is that implemented in others like Neovim ?

if so, what would you recommend me to do ? i really find easier for my eyes to have those stripes, or something similar others also use. When i look horizontally, to see relative numbers, that's fine, but when it is further down, and also text is intended a lot (text start at 50% vertically of page), i can't use this program in it's fullest speed, as my eyes lose track of what row it was, and i always mistake 3-4 up/down (if i use  j/k motions, which i usually do)

if using GNU/Linux and depending on your file's contents, of course,
you could perhaps use 'indent' or such to reformat the text
beforehand.

Essentially, you want the video equivalent of "greenbar" printer paper.
