How can a make my jface tableviewer display a chosen background color for specific rows? I have a timestamp in each row and like to give a row thats timestamp is on a monday a color, different than the others.

Answer 1

With ColumnLabelProvider it is even easier:

col.setLabelProvider(new ColumnLabelProvider() {

@Override
public Color getBackground(final Object element) {
    if (element instanceof YourClass) {
        if (((YourClass) element).shouldBeRed()) {
            return new Color(Display.getDefault(), 0xFF, 0xDD, 0xDD);
        }
    }

    return super.getBackground(element);
}

});

Of course you should not create new colors on each getBackground but use resource managers for that purpose.
