Setting grid background color for entire grid canvas

Suite and Optimus Suite 5
#1

Hi

I need to set the background color of the entire grid canvas as dimensioned in the

tag.
ie

I am able to set each row color however in some cases the grid only has 1 row and the rest of the grid is now white ie it is not inheriting the background color of the div

I have tried using .setStyle() however this affects only the rows and has no effect on the rest of the grid

Any ideas as to how I can overcome this

Many thanks

Please, try to use css:
div.gridbox .objbox{
background-color:red;
}
