 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question.
 * That’s possible with some CSS code. Please try this:
    1. Uncheck the “Alternating
   row colors” checkbox on the “Edit” screen of the table. 2. Add this to the “Custom
   CSS” textarea on the “Plugin Options” screen of TablePress:
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-123 td {
         background-color: #ff0000;
       }
       ```
   
 * Adjust the 123 to the correct table ID as necessary.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Thanks Tobias,
    it works and i am glad u help me. but there is 1 more thing that
   i’d like to know.
 * for example, i’ve got 3 tables.
    Can I copy few rows from table no. 1 and paste
   it to table no. 2?

 * Hi,
 * no problem, you are very welcome! 🙂 Good to hear that this helped!
 * About the other question: No, sorry, that is not possible. Copying rows from 
   one table to the other automatically is not possible.
    You will have to add news
   rows in the second table and use manual copy/paste of the cell contents.

    Tobias

 * Thanks again Tobias,
 * I have a very last question, if it’s not a problem:)
 * Is it possible to add an background image behind the table?

 * Hi,
 * sure. For that, you should remove the code that I posted above (so that the table
   cells are transparent), and then add something like this:
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-123 {
         background: background:url( 'http://example.com/your-image.jpg' ) 0 0 no-repeat;
       }
       ```
   
 * Regards,
    Tobias
