Setting cell background color [message #1396588]

Hi,

I would like to customize the background color of the cells in the NatTable. The example program shows this pretty well for the default grid (code here).

In my case though, I use a custom body data provider which does not support the methods used in that code (no getBodyLayer() or selection layer).

In the example doc, I found this easy method to change cell contents :

Style cellStyle = new Style();
cellStyle.setAttributeValue(
	CellStyleAttributes.BACKGROUND_COLOR, bgColor);
cellStyle.setAttributeValue(
	CellStyleAttributes.FOREGROUND_COLOR, fgColor);
configRegistry.registerConfigAttribute(CellConfigAttributes.CELL_STYLE, cellStyle);

But with this, I can only change the font color, right?

I would appreciate any comments, if you know any advice for me. Thanks!

Sorry, maybe I'm too deep in the NatTable code, but I don't understand your issue.

The example code you posted sets a value for CellStyleAttributes.BACKGROUND_COLOR. Why should that only apply for the font color?
