You need to change the `props.headerStyle` to affect the header style ---

Oh, whoops! I must have just seen Table and gone with that 😬 Edit: You're most likely going to have to change it with the advanced style sheet by referring to the page in your browser dev tools to find out which css selector you need to override ---

Hi @Senthoor_Mani_M. under the Meta data of your alarm status object create a domId with the value of your choice ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/2/f/2f76b3f95f3669f723d383422b13c81d7d17f845.png) Under Styles/stylesheet.css ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/7/1/71df03a60c171018816039576a917873dcde373f.png) enter the following code ```auto #alarmTable .ia_table__headContainer{ background-color:black; } ``` Just change the #alarmTable with the domId value you use (always with an # first). Then save your project and the modification should be applied to all alarm status table with the same domId. Be aware that the advanced style sheet is available on gateway 8.1.22 and after. To activate it right click on the styles folder and Enable advance stylesheet. Fyi it's the same for an alarm journal table. Regards Arnaud ---

I was looking for a solution just to change one particular table, instead of overall change to all table. Your solution works perfectly. ---

Hi, I was hoping for some help, I have followed the instructions above but can not get my Alarm table to change its colour. The only instruction I have not been able to do is "To activate it right click on the styles folder and Enable advance stylesheet." When I right click I do not have this option? Any one any ideas, I am using version 8.1.35 Regards Richard ---

hi @richard_hamilton, Could is be that stylesheet is already enabled? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/7/1/71c73b96168977be56f4ab688cd314b9f722bf8c.png) regards ---

Ah, yes it is. Thanks Arnaud. I wonder why the header of the table is not changing colour then... Richard ---

have you save your project after copy the following code in the stylesheet? ```auto #alarmTable .ia_table__headContainer{ background-color:black; } ``` is the domid on your table set to alarmTable? Regards ---

Yes Arnaud I have, I have the table looking like this ![table](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/f/5/f590dc05b384caa3a699650c6e1d5574d637ad16.png) meta properties are ![table1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/1/2/12136f48ef82c0e721e282abd6f058a2017993a2.png) and the css file is ![table2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/c/1/c1997500a7fdfb87c6fa6cadff3f2f7bcbe781b3.png) Just unable to get the header to change colour.

I have just realised that i had enableHeader set to false. When it was set to true the colour had changed... So, it appears i am trying to change the toolbar, 🤦 Richard ---

Ok this is not the header. This is the toolbar ```auto #alarmTable .ia_alarmTableComponent__toolbar{ background-color:black; } ``` for the filter section ```auto #alarmTable .alarmTable .alarmTableToolbar .alarmPreFiltersFilter{ background-color:black; } ``` ---
