Ciao.

Such as in “Data viewer list”, I’d like to set items in “Simple list” in different colours, background, etc. Is it possible?, and if yes, how?

Grazie

GM

Hello @rusticone  
The “Simple list” component doesn’t have as many customization options as “Data viewer list” has.  
Why do you prefer to use the “Simple list” component?

Thankyou.

I’d like to use it because for my purpose is faster than Data viewer…

This is block with Data viewer:

This for the same result with Simple list:

This last one is faster in his prosessing although without list customization…

Maybe you could use [clone block](https://docs.thunkable.com/blocks/advanced-app-features/any-component-blocks#what-is-the-clone-block) to create components dynamically.  
Have you tried it?
