When I run the code that I posted, on my Ubuntu 10.10, CitrusPerl 5.16, wxWidgets 2.8.12 setup, the $self->{list_control}->SetTextColour(wxBLUE); does change the column header text to blue. The column background text always stays grey. This seems to be almost everything that you needed to do. Are you not seeing the header text color change? I can search for wxWidgets in my Synaptic package manager to see the version number(of my original install, the CitrusPerl install is a newer version).

You could try a CitrusPerl install. It was quick and easy for me. You could even try the CitrusPerl developmental 2.9.4 wxWidgets version and see if this issue might have been fixed.

I will cross-post a question to the mail-list and see if anyone over there knows the status.

There's never enough time to do it right, but always enough time to do it over...
