EI7 not showing background-color

[labanino]

Hi, i have a table with alternating rows, white and yellow that works fine but i have two classes, one with a checkmark and the other with an asterisk. This two classes only have a small .png image as a background. The thing is that anywhere these two classes are you can see the checkmark and asterisk transparent images but no the background-color applied to the row behind it.

I have:

.asterisk {
background: url(../images/digital_dashboard/grey-asterisk.png) no-repeat 50% 50%;
padding: 0 !important;
}

.checkmark {
background: url(../images/digital_dashboard/grey-check-mark.png) no-repeat 50% 50%;
padding: 0 !important;
}

tr.odd {
background-color: #fef8db;
border-left: 1px solid #6D6D6D;
}
tr.even {
background-color: #ffffff;
border-left: 1px solid #6D6D6D;
}

Can't send you a link because it's a back-end app.

<tr class="even">
<td class="checkmark"></td>
</tr>

So, where the checkmark or asterisk classes are the tr background-color disappears. Any help? Thanks.
