However, in the meantime, you’ll notice that if you click into a record, that entire row changes its color to a light grey, to distinguish which row you’re currently working on from the other rows.

I, too, would love to have alternating row shading. That would make the tables more usable and accessible.

@ScottWorld I changed the category for this post to move it to Product Suggestions, as the added request from @Marina_Michaels is pretty much guiding the discussion in that direction.

This is such a no-brainer. Unfortunately I don't see the row change color when I select it ... I hope it's taken seriously as a request.
