fg color of dialog listbox

I want to use a multicolumn listbox to diplay a list of sensors, their value and alarm status. If there is an alarm I want to change the text color of that sensor line to red. This is easy to do using property nodes, however - I do not like the design of neither the new 6i 3D listbox, nor the old one - I want to use the design used on the dialog multicolumn listbox. The problem with this is that with the dialog version you do not seem to be allowed to change the foreground color (i.e. the text color). So - the question is; is it possible to "free" the dialog multicolumn listbox from this restriction (basically making it a non-dialog one but keeping the same design?). I tried coloring the traditional 5.x listbox to have the same look as the dial
og one, but that did not work - e.g. the dialog one has a recessed frame which I am unable to recreate by coloring...

Any ideas?

You can customize the 5.x control and replace the frame with a recessed one. Edit the dialog multicolumn list box control and copy to the clipboard the recessed frame. Edit the 5.x control and replace the frame with the one copied on the clipboard.
