Anyone know if it's possible to have different items in a list box be different colours? So if I had a list box with "Donkeys, Hens, Cows, Pigs, Monkeys", the Donkeys would be blue text, hens yellow text, pigs red text, etc. Thanks!

Nope. Not unless you make your own listbox. You can of course change the color of text in a textarea.

Thanks for the reply. I've started making my own using a canvas. Or maybe a whole load of canvases, not sure yet.

1 canvas is the way to go :) I considered usin multiple canvis/gadget/panel/etc to makeup a listbox. For reasons envolving blitz+ events I decided not too, and just made the gadgets myself. :) this is one canvas btw <end pimp>

I think you’re right; one canvas would certainly be easier. Your listbox looks great btw.
