Whilst coding up a recent .NET MVC application built heavily using
JQGrid I came across a requirement which to be honest I struggled with
at first . In short I wanted to, on a column by column basis, colorise
the icons that were to be displayed. Now JQGrid supports a icon colorset
which seemingly cannot be changed easily so in the end I had to resort
to changing the styles. Here is how I achieved this, warts and all….Firstly of course JQGrid uses the standard set of JQuery Ui Icons to provide its user interface. I say ‘Icons’ but this is of course provided as one image which is broken up into sprites of 16 x 16 pixels, more of that later. So the first step is to download the set of colour icons that you require…. JQueryUI.com provides a standard set of these icons rolled in every colour you can dream so its in fact very easy. The hardest part is arriving at your chosen colours!
