Hi all,

Is there a part in the theme that allows us to style the tables? I’d like to add a background colour and padding?

I can do this after publishing, but would prefer to do it in the theme.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Barry,

Very limited i’m afraid on that one, other than having a header row which pulls its colour from the default pallette.

SOmething that keeps getting asked for though so I will add a +1 to the feature request.
