thomasgericke on "[Theme: Customizr] How to change table background color?"

I want to change the table's background color. It always is white and/or some not-so-white ("whitesmoke"?). I've already tried to add some CSS to the theme's custom CSS:

.table {
background-color: transparent;
}

or

table {
background-color: transparent;
}

Doesn't work, still white. I also played around with background: #000000; or even other things. Nothing's happening at all.

Even the following does not work:

.table-striped tbody > tr:nth-child(odd) > td,
.table-striped tbody > tr:nth-child(odd) > th {
background-color: transparent;
}
.table-hover tbody tr:hover > td,
.table-hover tbody tr:hover > th {
background-color: transparent;
}

How to change table's background to either transparent or a defined color?
