 * Goodmorning,
    I have a problem with my table:
 * [http://lucacapiluppi.com/la-stanza-dei-giochi/](http://lucacapiluppi.com/la-stanza-dei-giochi/)
   
   I tried to change the firs column width with this code:
 * .tablepress-id-N .column-2 {
    width: 100px; }
 * adding the right table ID and column number, but it doesn’t work.
    How can I 
   fix it?
 * And also I need to change the background color of some column just in the body,
   is there a way to do that?
 * Thank you
    Luca

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Are you trying to increase or decrease the width here? Decreasing will not work,
   unfortunately, but increasing should work with this CSS:
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-5 .column-1 {
       	font-weight: bold;
       	width: 150px;
       	min-width: 150px;
       }
       ```
   
 * (The extra `min-width` command is necessary because the table is already wider
   than the screen and therefore scrolling.)
 * To change the background of a column, but only in the table body, you can use
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-5 tbody .column-4 {
         background-color: #ff0000;
       }
       ```
   
 * Regards,
    Tobias
