I think you have to get the Q3ListView palette; and then use setBrush() with QPalette::Background color role to set the palette's background colour, and then set the Q3ListView's palette to the modified palette. You can also change the alternating row with the QPalette::AlternateBase colour role.

And if i understand you cant change item colors?
I think you must subclass QListViewItem and play with reimplementing paintBrushes() or paintCell()

Thanks for the reply,

I reimplemented paintcell as shown below and it works fine

void QCexItem::paintCell( QPainter * p, const QColorGroup &cg,
int column, int width, int align)
{
const QBrush brush(Qt::lightgray);
p->fillRect(0,0, width, height(), brush);
Q3ListViewItem::paintCell( p, cg, column, width, align );
return;
}

but if i want to change the color of the text in the Q3ListVuewItem, i cannot do it ,

If you have any suggestions please do reply,

bye,
sree
