Set the GridView.AppearancePrint.HeaderPanel.BackColor property to White to change a column header background color.

Refer to the Appearance and Conditional Formatting help article that describes different ways of appearance customizations.

thanks for your help,The thing that bothers me most is the style of columns,I want it to be as one body not as separate as it shows – M.Bouabdallah Jun 07 '19 at 11:12
If you change the background color as I mentioned, column headers will be shown in the same manner as regular data cells. – Svetlana Jun 10 '19 at 08:46
I tried (white and transparent) but I get the same style – M.Bouabdallah Jun 12 '19 at 08:38
Column headers of an exported grid become white on my side if the GridView.OptionsPrint.UsePrintStyles option is on and the GridView.AppearancePrint.HeaderPanel.BackColor property is set to White. – Svetlana Jun 13 '19 at 07:39
