    config {
        backend_layout {
            styles = background-color: #e5e5f7; background-image: radial-gradient(#5a3628 0.5px, #e5e5f7 0.5px); background-size: 10px 10px;
            colCount = 3
            rowCount = 1
            rows {
                1.columns {
                    1 {
                        name = Main
                        identifier = main
                        styles = background: repeating-linear-gradient(45deg, #E9E9E9, #E9E9E9 10px, #F6F6F6 10px, #F6F6F6 20px);
                        colspan = 2
                        colPos = 0
                    }

                    2 {
                        name = Right
                        identifier = right
                        styles = background: repeating-linear-gradient(45deg, #FFCD1E, #FFCD1E 10px, #cca418 10px, #cca418 20px);
                        colPos = 1
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

🔍 Additional Information

[](#-additional-information)

Starting from TYPO3 **13.4.6**, the Page Module provides additional CSS classes for styling:
