Resource Background Styling

Easily highlight resources or columns by adding a simple background color or craft a more specific look with the cssClass property of the resources data.

The output could be a custom background to individual resources or columns and it can be used for multiple purposes. For example:

  • Different styling for certain columns, like thicker border acting as separator.
  • Resource selection, where the selected resource has a different background.
  • Setting different backgrounds for the resource titles and grid columns.
