Styling tables

Because tables are big components, they have a lot of classes for every section and element in the tables. Remember that you can always use your browser to inspect the HTML and seek for the CSS classes you need. Here you have a snippet to change the background color, the header color, and add a hover effect on table rows:

  .v-table-header {
    color: #fff;
    background: #4455aa;
    font-weight: bold;
    text-align: center;
  }
  
  .v-table {
    background: #99afff;
  }
  
  .v-table-row:hover, .v-table-row-odd:hover {
    color: #fff;
    background: #6475ca;
  }
