When using DataTables in combination with Bootstrap (or more specifically a dark themed style, for example one retrieved from Bootswatch) you might notice styling issues that are apparant such as a white background for your table which might not fit in your theme.
This is why I recommend removing the following lines from DataTables.min.css:
div.DTS div.dataTables_scrollBody{background:repeating-linear-gradient(45deg, #edeeff, #edeeff 10px, #fff 10px, #fff 20px)}
And
div.DTS div.dataTables_scrollBody table{background-color:white}
This is not a bug, per sé, just simply putting this out there for people who have experienced the same issues with Bootstrap usage.
Kind regards
