Thanks for the suggestions - I will give them a try.

>Probably, the function will be called for each column and each row. When row changes, the value of special row counter increases and thus color changes. There might be also a problem with even/odd rows (the same row becomes gray or white when scrolling), so I assume it is not a good solution.
