Hi !

There is no global way to define your grid lines, but as you can see in the
Help Browser, you can specify a style for each grid line (like color or
thickness).

GridLines->{{x1,style1},{x2,style2},...}

You can also define any function of min and max of the data range, which
creates a List of grid lines on the fly:

GridLines->func

For example

In[..]:=grids[min_, max_]:= 
  Table[{i, {RGBColor[.5, .5, 1]}}, {i, min, max, (max -
min)/10},GridLines->grids]

In[..]:=Plot[Sin[t],{t,0,2pi}]
Out[..]:=...

will plot light blue grid lines in x and y direction..
