OK.  FWIW, you could go back to UIComponent and use beginFill,
moveTo/lineTo/endFill to draw the background yourself.  It will be
slightly faster and smaller than using VBox.

Hi Doug, Alex,

Thx for your emails. Got it to work, I just changed my cell renderer
from extending UIComponent to extending VBox. Thanks for the hint :-)

Cheers,

        Ah, sorry, I missed the fact that it was for a single cell
instead of
        the entire row.
        
        So do you already have a cell renderer based on something like
HBox,
        and if so have you tried setting the backgroundColor property?
What
        happened? I would think that should work. I'll see if I can put
        together a working example.
