I have managed to - via the help of template.php and profile_listing.tpl.php - create a nice table with my users. I start and end my taple in profile.module like this

 // Extract the affected users:
    $result = pager_query('SELECT uid, access FROM {users} WHERE uid > 0 AND status != 0 AND access != 0  AND uid != 3 ORDER BY uid ASC', 40, 0, NULL);

    $output = '<table border="0"><tr><th class="name">Name</th><th class="phone">Phone</th><th class="work">Work with</th><th class="other">Other info</th></tr>';
    while ($account = db_fetch_object($result)) {
      $account = user_load(array('uid' => $account->uid));
      $profile = _profile_update_user_fields($fields, $account);
      $output .= theme('profile_listing', $account, $profile);
    }
    $output .= '</table>';
    $output .= theme('pager', NULL, 40);

    drupal_set_title(t('user list'));
    return $output;
  }
}

And my profile_listing.tpl.php like this;

<tr>
<td valign="top">
<?php profile_load_profile($user->uid) ?>
<font class="names"><?php print $user->name ?></font><br \> 
<font class ="place">
<?php print $user->profile_place ?></font><br \>
<font class ="mail"><?php print $user->mail ?></font><br \>
</td>
<td valign="top">
<font class="phonenumber">
<?php print $user->profile_phone ?>
<?php if($user->profile_cell): ?> 
<br \><?php print $user->profile_cell ?>
<br \>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if($user->profile_phone2): ?>
<?php print $user->profile_phone2 ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</font>
</td>
<td valign="top">
<font class="work">
<?php if($user->profile_work): ?>
<?php print $user->profile_work ?><br \>
<?php endif; ?>
</font>
</td>
<td valign="top">
<font class="work">
<?php if($user->profile_other): ?>
<?php print $user->profile_other ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</font>
</td>
</tr>

Now I would like to make it a table where the rows have alternate colors. I have tried a lot of solutions but I have not managed to do it. I guess I have to write some code in profile. module and some in profile_listing but I haven't found out where in profile.module to write it.

I use theme bluebreeze.
Anyone who can help me??

Noone who knows?

Typically, this is the sort of thing you would accomplish by modifying the CSS class of the < tr > tag, e.g.

<tr class="oddRow">
... content
</tr>
<tr class="evenRow">
... content
</tr>

and then declaring something like the following in your CSS file:

.oddRow {
  background-color: #cecece;
}
.evenRow {
  background-color: #ffffff;
}

You can accomplish the HTML with a snippet of PHP to alternate between those two states like this (untested snippet here:)

<?php
  $rowClass = $rowClass == 'evenRow' ? 'oddRow' : 'evenRow';
  echo ('<tr class="'.$rowClass.'">');
?>

Thank you for your answer.
I think I was not all together clear on what I wanted. I have found solutions like the one you wrote here. The thing is I'm not good enough on PHP to know where in the code to write it. I have tried and tried but I do not get alternate rows.

Take a look at the PHP code snippet in my original response -- that will do the necessary HTML.
So instead of writing out a < tr > with PHP (your first line) - write out < tr class=" INSERT PHP WITH CLASS NAME HERE " >

I tried that. But I'm afraid it didn't work. Every row becomes even.

Sorry - that's the problem with untested code snippets. I probably should have written out in longer form just so it's easier to follow in any case. Here's another attempt.

<?php
  if ( $rowClass == 'evenRow' ) { // if it's currently (already) an even row, make it an odd row
    $rowClass = 'oddRow';
  }
  else { // otherwise, make it an even row
    $rowClass = 'evenRow';
  }
  echo ('<tr class="'.$rowClass.'">');
?>
