grey/white/grey/white/etc bars

[Sharon Kimble <skimble04@gmail.com>]

Does anyone know how to get rid of the grey/white/grey/white etc bars in the
background of programmes like konqueror, rhythmbox, kmail and virtually
everything please?  I find them very annoying and they make the black
text in the
grey bars almost impossible to read for one of advancing years.

Any help gratefully accepted :)

Thanks
Sharon.
