We've switched to using gal's tag for 0.7 instead of the main branch.
This is because of binary incompatible changes in gal make it not work
with the tagged version of gtkhtml.

However, the stripes are something that were added after gal 0.7 was
frozen.  Therefore, by switching back to 0.7 instead of the main branch
of gal, the stripes went away.

Soon after we release evolution 0.10, we'll switch to using the main
branches of gal, gtkhtml, and evolution.  At that time the stripes will
reappear.

I'm glad you like the stripes.

Thanks,
