Hey All,

There doesn’t seem to be really ANYTHING on the interwebs on how to achieve this, that I can find.

I want to be able to set the background color of a cell to a different color. Not the row color, not the column color. A single cell.

I understand that it’s going to have make an item renderer, but I’m not sure exactly how to go about setting a background color using it. Any pointing in the right direction would be great.
