Unfortunately, none of the things you want can be done (at least not very
easily) right now.

You can try these, but neither are probably exactly what you want:

i ) xyplot(..., scales = list(alternating = 1, tck = 0))
ii) xyplot(..., scales = list(relation = "free"))

The background is easy to change, by

lset(list(strip.background = list(col = "transparent")))

(note: this is overridden every time you start a new device)

or

xyplot(..., strip = function(bg, ...) strip.default(bg = 'transparent', ...))


The box can't really be removed (even if the strip function doesn't draw a box,
each panel draws a box around itself, as does the whole plotting region).
