Change colors of non-populated array elements

[Zwired1]

Any way to affect the colors/appearance of the light gray elements in the array below (for example).  I don't find an appropriate property node and have not been able to figure out how to do this via control customization.  Using LV13 but I don't think this is version dependent.

It is a function of the background color of the array element, just bleached. (black in this case)

You can programmatically (within reason!) resize the array container to the size of the array so the extra elements are not visible.

Hi Zwired1,

It's not possible to change the background color of element in array.

B'cos the properties of array elements should be same accept  values can be change.

Its possible only when you can use a table(or list box) instead of the array, where you can set the active cell and change the background color of any element.

I am familiar with the property nodes to change the index values, number or rows, etc.  and I understand array element properties are set at the whole-array level.  What I am looking for is a way to change the "bleaching effect" characteristics.

If you are talking about the greyed-out effect, that is due to those elements not having any values in them.  There is not a property to change that.  If you don't want the greyed-out look you could try populating with empty strings.

If you do want to change BG color as well there is always using an array of clusters with a color box and string in the cluster.  See attached.
