I’m having the same issue as the original poster. It’s not that I’m wondering if the background color is being overridden – I’m stating that it is in fact being overridden by the jqx-grid-cell class’s background-color style. This is clearly seen in the degugging tools of both chrome and IE 11. The class is added to the markup, but ignored.
This is happening with both a bootstrap background color class, as well as a custom background color class.
looking at http://www.jqwidgets.com/community/topic/cellclassname-works-with-font-size-but-not-background-color/ i see that background-color usually is not ignored unless the cell already have background or background-image applied.
it seems like the jqx-grid-cell class is doing just that. Could this be related to the order I’m declaring my style sheets or something?
