Hi, we already have a bug that suggests we should have alternating colours for the list view rows (LP: #727151) and have had discussions around if and how to implement that.
The issue is that if a list view only shows 2 or 3 results then one of them will be a different colour to the others and looks like it is being emphasised when it actually isn't.
I looked at ways to implement it differently but still didn't find anything that worked well so we've left it as is.

I don't believe this is a duplicate, so think it should stay open as this is a slightly different issue in that there are probably ways to associate the star rating with the app name, without having to distinguish the rows from one another. For example, putting the stars on the left instead of right (vice-versa for RTL locales) immediately followed by the app name.

e.g.
***** 3D Chess
   instead of
3D Chess *****
