When enabling “Enable Row Selection” in a table the check box that appears in the table header that checks (and unchecks) all rows has a white background which seemingly cannot be changed.

I have a table in a container with a gray background color which sets the background color for the entire table to gray except the check box in the table header.

Hi.

Thank you for reaching out.

We’ve created a challenge for allowing the background colour to be applied to the table header, incl. the check box for selection.
