I'd love to see a possibility to specify the
color/style of the Gridlines/minor Gridlines
seperately.
Currently there is only the color of the axes, which
includes axes color, gridline color, tick color,
ticklabel color (this imitates the MATLAB behaviour
which also lackes the possibility to define gridline
color)

e.g. define a new property: GridColor, taking a RGB
vector or color character.

so that (for example)
figure;
plot( 0:0.1:pi, sin(0:0.1:pi), 'bx-');
set(gca, 'GridLineStyle','-','GridLineColor',[0.35
0.35 0.35]);
grid on;

would give a sin() plot with solid line, light gray
grid lines.

I view of (possibly) further refinement one could also
define XGridColor, YGridColor, ZGridColor, but one can
discuss if seperate properties are necessary.

Good work!
keep going

    Are these properties matlab compatible?

    sorry for the delay - I was offline for one week.

    What do you mean by 'matlab-compatible'? Matlab does not
    offer any functionality regarding seperate gridline colors
    (as of R14SP3). This means, such an Option is not available
    in Matlab. So in this sense, no they are not matlab
    compatible.

    I did a search on mathworks, this topic came up some years
    ago but was (obviously) never continued, so I do not know
    what mathworks plans in this direction.

    OK,

    I'll look into it and try to implement this. I agree it
    would look nice.
