Yeah - this is a good suggestion. ListView and TableView renderers
would be passed the item/row index, and TreeView's renderer would be
passed the row index as well as the node's path.

why the "zebra" style would need to be added to the tree view
skin, not the
renderer.
So I'd need also a custom style because it has access to some row/
node
attributes, but from here is it possible to send some data to the
renderer, or currently this is not possible (without some changes to
the code) ? In the case it's currently not possible, do you think we
can modify something to enable this ?
There's not really any such thing as a "custom style", unless you
create a
custom TreeView subclass and associated skin. It is also not
currently
possible to pass any additional information to the renderer to
support
"zebra" styling without changing the node renderer interface, which
I don't
think we should do.
Actually, given that there's no easy way to find out this info if we
don't
pass it to the renderer, I think we should add it to the renderer
interfaces. For reference, Swing's renderers do give such info.
Sandro, if
you want to create a JIRA ticket for this, list it as "Renderers
should be
passed index/path".
