I'm trying to change the background color using this code:

  data.getItemMetadata = function (index)
  {
       if (index === 5)
       {
           return  {cssClasses: "Unverified"};
       }      
   }

It works perfect as long as the index is even. but with odd indexes it has no effect on the background color (it has effect on the font style). I suspect it has something to do with the zebra effect? (I don't know how to disable that)

Thanks.

Your Unverified CSS class gets applied, but has no effect because it's specificity is lower than what is defined in slick-default-theme.css:

.slick-row.odd {
  background: #fafafa;
}

Notice that the selector uses a bination of two classes, which is more specific than your single Unverified class, hence it takes precedence.

You have two options:

1. Remove the existing rule.
2. Increase the specificity of your rule by adding .slick-row and placing it after the existing rule in the document, or by adding ! important at the end of your style declaration.

Neither of Tin's answers worked for me.

I was using:

.slick-row[row$="1"], .slick-row[row$="3"], .slick-row[row$="5"], .slick-row[row$="7"], .slick-row[row$="9"] {
  background: #E2E4FF;

}

But adding this to my CSS did:

.slick-row.odd {
  background: #E2E4FF;
}
