[twitter-bootstrap] How do I change the hover over color for a hover over table in Bootstrap?

I have a table with class 'table-hover'. The default hover over color is a white / light grey. How do I change this color?

I've tried overwriting the default by adding the following to my dominant style sheet

.table-hover tbody tr:hover > th {
  background-color: #D1D119;
}

Unfortunately, the above does not work

For me @pvskisteak5 answer has caused a "flicker-effect". To fix this, add the following:

            .table-hover tbody tr:hover,
            .table-hover tbody tr:hover td,
            .table-hover tbody tr:hover th{
                background:#22313F !important;
                color:#fff !important;
            }

Instead of changing the default table-hover class, make a new class ( anotherhover ) and apply it to the table that you need this effect for.

Code as below;

.anotherhover tbody tr:hover td { background: CornflowerBlue; }

try:

.table-hover > tbody > tr.active:hover > th {
                background-color: #color;
            }

.table-hover tbody tr:hover td {
    background: aqua;
}

this is the best solution i can gice so far.it works out perfectly in such scena

This is for bootstrap v4 compiled via grunt or some other task runner

You would need to change $table-hover-bg to set the highlight on hover

$table-cell-padding:            .75rem !default;
$table-sm-cell-padding:         .3rem !default;

$table-bg:                      transparent !default;
$table-accent-bg:               rgba(0,0,0,.05) !default;
$table-hover-bg:                rgba(0,0,0,.075) !default;
$table-active-bg:               $table-hover-bg !default;

$table-border-width:            $border-width !default;
$table-border-color:            $gray-lighter !default;

.table-hover tbody tr:hover td {
    background: #ffffff;
}

Try Bootstrap’s .table-hover class to implement hoverable rows, for example

<table class="table table-hover">
  ...
</table>

This worked for me:

.table tbody tr:hover td, .table tbody tr:hover th {
    background-color: #eeeeea;
}

This was the most simple way to do it imo and it worked for me.

.table-hover tbody tr:hover td {
    background: aqua;
}

Not sure why you would want to change the heading color to the same hover color as the rows but if you do then you can use the above solutions. If you just want t

HTML CODE:

<table class="table table-hover">
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th>Firstname</th>
            <th>Lastname</th>
            <th>Email</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>John</td>
            <td>Doe</td>
            <td>[email protected]</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>Mary</td>
            <td>Moe</td>
            <td>[email protected]</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>July</td>
            <td>Dooley</td>
            <td>[email protected]</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>

CSS CODE

.table-hover thead tr:hover th, .table-hover tbody tr:hover td {
    background-color: #D1D119;
}

The css code indicate that:

mouse over row:

.table-hover > thead > tr:hover

background color of th will change to #D1D119

th

Same action will happen for tbody

.table-hover tbody tr:hover td
