treeItem.setBackGround() sets the background of the item to specified
color, but it does *not* change the default selection color (of Windows
theme). In order to override the default selection color with your own
color, you might need to consider using custom drawing for the tree items.
For more info, refer to
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.swt.sni ppets/src/org/eclipse/swt/snippets/Snippet229.java?view=co

HTH.,

Praveen.

TreeViewer exposes the SWT Tree custom draw functionality through its
OwnerDrawLabelProvider. For an example of using OwnerDrawLabelProvider see
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.jface.s nippets/Eclipse%20JFace%20Snippets/org/eclipse/jface/snippet s/viewers/Snippet010OwnerDraw.java?view=markup .

In your specific case you will need to provide an implementation of
OwnerDrawLabelProvider.erase(), in which you can do something like what
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/org. eclipse.swt.snippets/src/org/eclipse/swt/snippets/Snippet226 .java
does in its EraseItem Listener.

Thanks alot guys...its working...

I followed suggestion by looking at the code snippets that you guys suggested...
I tried adding listner to the tree as following and it works:

treeViewer.getTree().addListener(SWT.EraseItem, new Listener(){
public void handleEvent(Event event) {
if ((event.detail & SWT.SELECTED) == 0) return; /* item not selected */
int clientWidth = treeViewer.getTree().getClientArea().width;
GC gc = event.gc;
gc.setForeground(treeViewer.getTree().getDisplay().getSystem Color(SWT.COLOR_TITLE_FOREGROUND));
gc.setBackground(treeViewer.getTree().getDisplay().getSystem Color(SWT.COLOR_BLUE));
gc.fillRectangle(0, event.y, clientWidth, event.height);
event.detail &= ~SWT.SELECTED;
}});

Thanks,
Prasad.
