Suite and Optimus Suite 5

I’ve changed the background color for certain cells in my grid like so

grid.cellById(rno, idx).setBgColor('orange');

However, the cells are not being highlighted when I highlight the row.
How do I fix this?

Here is the unhighlighted row:

Appreciate any help.

Please, try to add the following code:
grid.setStyle("","","",“background:#85d2fe !important”);
