Answer 1

The only way to do this is to custom draw the items. Christian Helle has an example here (it's way too long to post back here).

Answer 2

I wanted something like this in my app, but Mobile screens are small. It worked better to set the entire ListViewItem 's BackColor property:

private void ChangeLviColor(ListViewItem lvi, Color color) {
  if (lvi.BackColor != color) {
    lvi.BackColor = color;
  }
}

FYI: Both of the links above will take you to some great sample code.

Of special note, be aware of this remark: "If you want to use the same background color for all subitems of an item, set the UseItemStyleForSubItems property to true. This will cause the colors and fonts specified for the item to be used for all subitem text."
