In a DataGrid Form, is the Background graphic not shown?

How can the alternating white and light blue background be overridden to display what is on the Row Template?

I have looked over this article, but the cell coloring does not seem to work for the form style or something: http://lessons.runrev.com/s/lessons/m/d ... solve=true

Thanks in advance,

It appears that by default, the DataGrid ignores the "Background" graphic in the Row Template. I added another graphic with a different name, but exactly the same colors and dimensions, and it displayed fine.

Is there a better way to do this, where I can just make one object in the Row Template, and set it so that it actually gets used?

What does the "Background" graphic actually even get used for then?

Hope that helps others with the same question.

Even better solution!
