I need to be able to fill a particular column of an igGrid with a specific background color and have no padding. I don't want to affect any other columns.

In the dataRendered event I have tried the following (plus many more), but I still have padding around my cell content. How do I remove all padding?

ui.owner.element.find("tr td:nth-child(2)").css("padding", 0);

ui.owner.element.find("tr td:nth-child(2)").css("background-color", "red");
