Kewl! Thanks for posting this. Your version is far more elegant then 
mine. Maybe we could work out a (setprop) handler that creates the 
groups on the fly?

But these stripes wouldn´t scroll with the text, would they?
Last time I tried this the backgroundPattern it didn´t scroll with the 
text but was static...

I´m not sure if I understand that correctly...
Do you mean one field for each line of text?

The good thing about Sarah´s solution is that the text length is 
variable and the text can be changed on the fly without the need of 
setting up a new group if the text changes.
