I think you are confusing the word alternate with the word alternating, 
and you may be looking in the wrong place for the result.  Does this 
program release (2.6.6) work differently for you than previous releases?

While I do not know the program well enough to tell you exactly what 
that alternate color in tables setting actually does in the Edit > Style 
Sheets menu, I too do not see any effect in the Budget Report as viewed 
in the program in Windows 7.  I will conjecture that it may apply to 
reports only when they are exported and viewed in a web browser, but the 
budget report may not even be using a table structure to display it's 
data.  Also, alternate color may apply to all table cells to make them 
visible against a white background.

I am using GnuCash 2 6 6 in Windows 7.
