Simplest way to change listview and treeview colours

Question

I'm trying to find a simple way to change the colour of the text and background in listview and treeview controls in WTL or plain Win32 code.

I really don't want to have to implement full owner drawing for these controls, simply change the colours used.

I want to make sure that the images are still drawn with proper transparency.

Any suggestions?

Have a look at the following macros:

ListView_SetBkColor
ListView_SetTextColor

TreeView_SetBkColor
TreeView_SetTextColor
