title: Getting a 'line background color pattern' on Bash
body: <p>I use gnome terminal / Bash on Ubuntu 18.04 (the default one).</p>
  
  <p>When I get some command outputs with several long lines after each other, my eye has difficulty to follow which line some later column belong to.</p>
  
  <p>One good solution to avoid this problem is to use a line-based background color pattern, for example I would do the following in LibreOffice</p>

  <p>Is there a way to get something similar in Bash? I.e. to get on bash a user-parametrizable alternating background color on a line basis? I looked for it quite extensively but did not find any resources so far.</p>
