I want to show a set of items in a list box for a user (in this case, an instructor of a course) to choose from. In my example below, the first item has a score next to it, indicating it has already been graded. The second item has two dashes, indicating it needs to be graded. The text of the third item is a light grey color, indicating that the student has not yet submitted this image for grading. I know how to make the grade and the dashes show up, but is there any way to make individual items in a list box have a different text color? All I can find about styles seems to apply to an entire component, not to individual items. TIA!
