Hi all, sorry if this is a stupid question, but here goes:

All I want to do is get rid of the background color in a list component, but I would prefer not to edit any skins or themes. I tried setting myComponent.background = false but that didn’t help.

Thanks much to anyone who can help! 🙂

PS. Anyone have a link to more information on using the cellRenderer?

No you, can’t have a transparent background to your listbox from what I know.
