 * Hello
 * I’m working with the TablePress Plugin a couple of month. And its just great.
   
   But now I have a little problem. In all my lists, I have changed the background
   colour via CSS. And now I createt a new list. But there, the colour doesn’t change.
   Why? Shouldn’t it change automaticly? What can/should I do?
 * Thank you for your answer
    Best wishes Inbi

 * Hi Inbi,
 * thanks for your question.
 * On your site I can see three tables, all with a transparent background and the
   hover effect turned on.
    In the “Custom CSS” textarea, there’s CSS code to change
   that color for two of these tables.
 * Can you please clarify which table is not working as expected and what exactly
   you would like to change? Thanks!
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Hi Tobias
 * You are really fast in answering the questions. Thank you very much.
    So it’s
   the “Vorstand” which I would change the background hover effect. It’s correct,
   that I already have made the effect. But now I would have the same color like
   in the other tables. (Like light violet) I had changed it in the CSS. But shouldn’t
   it changed in this table automatically?

 * Hi,
 * thanks for the clarification.
 * No, this will not change automatically in this case. The reason is that the “
   Vorstand” table has the ID 4, but in the “Custom CSS” you have only changed the
   background color for the hovered rows for tables 1 and 3. Just copy one of the
   blocks and change the ID in the code to 4 and you will get the effect on this
   table as well.
 * You can also choose to change this background color on ALL tables, by deleting
   one of the two blocks and then changing
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-1 .row-hover tr:hover td {
       ```
   
 * to
 *     ```
       .tablepress .row-hover tr:hover td {
       ```
   
 * This will then apply to ALL TablePress tables automatically.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
