General ⇒ How to shade the background of a table + caption

[bar_ba_dos]

Hi guys,

I would like to set the background of a table and its accompanying caption with a grey color. I have tried many things (shadbox,colorbox) without success. The table is defined on a twocolumn document and has the following form:

Code: Select all

\begin{table}[h]
\centering
\begin{tabular}{...}
....
\end{tabular}
\caption{...}
\end{table}

Any help on this problem is appreciated.

Cheers,
Bar_ba_dos.

Hi bar_ba_dos!

here some tricky code for that

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[table]{xcolor}
\begin{document}
\begin{table}[h]
\centering
\colorbox{gray!20}{
\begin{minipage}{.5\textwidth}
 \centering
 \begin{tabular}{ccc}
   test & test & test\\
   test & test & test
   \end{tabular}
	\caption{testcaption}
\end{minipage}}
\end{table}
\end{document}

Regards
Kris
