ScriptUI Graphics - Listbox question

Is there a way to have the rows in a list box have alternating background color?

I've figured out how to change the background and font as a whole on the Listbox but changing it for every item you add into the Listbox is evading me.

Anyone know how? Thanks in advance.

Correct answer Harbs.

You can't do this by default.

The only way (I can think of) to accomplish that would be to roll your own Listbox. It's possible, but challenging.

damn, ok!

Well that solves that issue

Not a big deal, was just hoping it could be done to spruce up the UI I am building a little bit. Not a major need for function

Thanks guys

Using what Peter has you could change the color of the text on alternating rows (at least it looked like it).
