Set background color of JavaFX ListView cells, with CSS

The old post show how to "Hide empty cell of TableView with CSS". This example apply similar approach, to set background color for various cells, empty, hover, selected.

Set background color of JavaFX ListView cells

Create javafx_testtableview/style_tableview.css file.

.table-row-cell:empty {
    -fx-background-color: khaki;
    -fx-border-color: grey
}

.table-row-cell:hover{
    -fx-background-color: blanchedalmond;
}

.table-row-cell:selected{
    -fx-background-color: chocolate;
}

Java code.
