You can check how it is done in the default theme. See the comments.php and the stylesheet.
That’s the only thing I can see???
<?php /* Changes every other comment to a different class */
if ('alt' == $oddcomment) $oddcomment = '';
else $oddcomment = 'alt';
?>
What about it? You have the code right there…
It gives comment #1 CSS class A and then if the previous comment was given CSS class A, then it gives comment #2 CSS class B, then A, etc.
Or are you just not understanding what to do with that code?
I need to nknow where to insert the class names…
You don’t have to insert anything – just have that code in your comments.php. WP does the rest.
The only thing you have to do: define the .alt class in your stylesheet.
Any example of .alt class for me?
Yes, in the stylesheet of the default theme.
Something like this: (Example ONLY!)
.commentlist li.alt {
background: #f0f;
}
Got that from here:

I only get the header of the comment to be different?
I want the entire comment…

There is obviously something wrong…
See below:
http://www.coldplayfansite.com/wordpress/?p=3
Code in comments.php is:
<div class="commentlist">
<?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>
<p class="<?php echo $oddcomment; ?>" id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">
<strong><?php comment_author() ?></strong>'s comment:
<?php if ($comment->comment_approved == '0') : ?>
<em>Your comment is awaiting moderation.</em>
<?php endif; ?>
<small><?php comment_date('F jS, Y') ?> at <?php comment_time() ?> <?php edit_comment_link('Edit comment','',''); ?></small>
<?php comment_text() ?>
<?php /* Changes every other comment to a different class */
if ('alt' == $oddcomment) $oddcomment = '';
else $oddcomment = 'alt';
?>
<?php endforeach; /* end for each comment */ ?>
</div>
And css is:
.commentlist p.alt {
background: #eeeeee;
}
But only headers get the .alt and not the entire comment, which should be included since it’s between the 2 <p>
