Additional information

I’ve trying to add a background to a base table header, as whole, whether it’s tied to a field/column or not for the past few days but nothing seems to specifically target that spot, except for .bases-view …

And the issue with that is that .bases-view applies to the whole table and I couldn’t find a way to use .base-view and “split it” between .bases-thead and .bases-table-container and/or .bases-tbody (so I could possibly have 2 different backgrounds in the table)…

At least, not without going into circle as I was trying to get a fully transparent .bases-tbody (as the base is embedded in a callout) but a somewhat colored .bases-thead (which stops at the last field available in the base)…

And when targeting .bases-tr that specific space of “nothing” in the table’s header isn’t picked up to its fullest, like it does for the rest of the table underneath …

Example:

.callout[data-callout="note"] {
  .bases-embed[alt="Untitled.base > Backlinks"] {
    .bases-tr {
      background: rgba(175,0,0,0.4);
    }
  }
}

Result:

Same goes when using --bases-table-header-background …
It doesn’t cover the whole header row …

Example:

.callout[data-callout="note"] {
  .bases-embed[alt="Untitled.base > Backlinks"] {
    --bases-table-header-background: rgba(175,0,0,0.4);
  }
}

Result:

I know I’m no CSS magician and my CSS is rusty, to say the least … and I definitively could have missed something but this has been a very perplexing “issue” over the week-end .
I did try a lot of things based on what I could find in the dev tools but nothing seemed to work to get a background applied on the whole table header row

Hello. This is not a bug. It’s intentional.

[Pch]

Ah well, at least now I know I can stop looking and try to color that spot in the header .
(Although, a possible workaround, I guess, could be to add an empty column at the end of the base )

Thank you WhiteNoise !

Thanks for getting back to me!

Just in case my explanation wasn’t clear, I made a quick GIF to show what I mean.

As you can see in the GIF, after I drag the bases-table-header-resizer, the total width of the table header no longer spans the entire width of the table.

So, I just want to double-check, is this layout behavior by design/intentional?

The CSS code used in the GIF is below:

.bases-thead {
  height: 100px;
}

.bases-tbody {
  background-color: red;
}
