 * Is there a way to make the entire background of the table transparent?
    Or, would
   I have to make each rows background color the same color as my page that the 
   table appears on? Thanks for any help, B.W.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Yes, that’s possible. You should actually just have to uncheck the “Alternating
   row colors” checkbox, as TablePress then does not apply a background color to
   the table, so that it should be transparent.
    If that does not help, please post
   a link to the page with the table, and I’ll find the necessary CSS code to really
   make the table transparent.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Tobias,
    Thanks for the quick response. This is an awesome plugin by the way.
   I already had the “Alternating row colors” checkbox un-checked so it must require
   something else. With it currently showing the blue background, I’m wondering 
   if its something maybe over-riding in the Theme Option?? The link to my Table
   Test page is: [http://lifestyle-owners.com/rv-tracker-club-org/table-test-page/](http://lifestyle-owners.com/rv-tracker-club-org/table-test-page/)
 * Thanks
    B.W.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for the link! What you see there as light blue is the table head row (
   and that is indeed colored by TablePress). Judging from the data in that row,
   you’ll not need a head row in this table, so just uncheck the “Table Head Row”
   checkbox as well.

    Tobias
