I load xcolor with option table, to get alternating row colors
However, I can't remove the color padding before the text of the first column (when using @{}.
In xcolor documentation, I see options for controlling it with the \columncolor command, but NOT with the \rowcolors. Here is the improper table (image below):
\PassOptionsToPackage{dvipsnames,svgnames*,x11names*,table}{xcolor}
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{report}
\usepackage{tabularx,longtable} % longtable is used in other places of the full document.
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{colortbl} % tabularx complains that \columncolor is undefined
\usepackage{xcolor}

I tried :
\rowcolors{1}{}{gray!25}[0pt]but the command does not take optionsdefining my first column with
@{\columncolor{}[0pt][\tabcolsep]}p{21mm}, but it keeps complaining:! Undefined control sequence. <template> ...rstrutbox \d@llarbegin \columncolor {}[0pt][\tabcolsep]\relax \d@llar... l.30 \end{tabularx}@{\setlength{\tabcolsep}{0pt}}p{21mm}: no effect.Inserting
\fctbefore the row throws an "undefined control sequence" as well, although based on this answer, this is exactly what I need.! Undefined control sequence. <recently read> \fct l.30 \end{tabularx}
These answers didn't help:
@{}at begin column specification, it will work as you expect. However, if you like to have it, than see tex.stackexchange.com/questions/365685/…
