How to change table color in Bio & Info?

Hey everyone. So I just watched this video (timestamped) and the guy was talking about changing the table to white / transparent. I've tried to google around and can't seem to figure it out other than through excel. Any help is greatly appreciated

Hi Maxzimusprime! The table in a handout or bio field is already transparent. To demonstrate, I have used the Inspector to turn the background of the entire field blue, and as you can see, the table cells do not obscure it. I don't think the Roll20 text editor has built in controls to change the table or cell background color, though it is possible with scripts or css jiggery-pokery. Let's look at this from another angle. What is the goal you are trying to accomplish?
Hello So the goal is to duplicate what the youtuber able to do, which is to show images and gif in Bio & Info without the interference from the table while making sure everything looks "neat". If you watch the beginning part of the video (timestamped), he's able to do just that. Also, maybe because I'm using a free account, the table can't be made transparent. If you look at the image attach in comparison to the video, you could clearly see the table unlike in the video
I believe the text editor has been updated since that video which changed that feature.

Ah, it's a terminology problem. The table background is transparent, but the borders are not. (Sorry, used to thinking about tables from a CSS point of view). It can be done, but would require a Stylus style that would affect all tables, and only for the machine on which it was installed. There are some scripts (like Stephen S's Markdown) which give you full CSS control over handout display, but that would require a Pro account. *I had considered the text editor replacement, but the engine itself was replaced way more than three years ago, IIRC.
