In relation to this question :

[inductiveautomation.com/forum/v … 70&t=15305](https://inductiveautomation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=15305)

When I applied the answer, when selecting a row or a cell, it does not highlight the selected row/cell because of the added code on the configure cell.

We dont want that because users are having a hard time knowing which row/cell they selected without the selection background.

Is there any other way to change color of row depending on value of a column?

Just put the isSelected first.

```auto
	if selected:
		return {'background': self.selectionBackground}
	isChecked = self.data.getValueAt(rowIndex,"Boolean Column")
	if isChecked:
		return {'background':self.SomeColor}
```
