You probably would want a custom cell renderer. You can start with the
Tutorial on custom TableViews here:
http://pivot.apache.org/tutorials/table-views.custom.html
What you would end up writing is a small class that subclasses
TableViewCellRenderer or implements TableView.CellRenderer. There are
several predefined ones you could use as examples such as
TableViewCheckboxCellRenderer or TableViewTextAreaCellRenderer. The
basic idea is that a renderer does what it takes to display its contents
when asked. It can be implemented using another Pivot control (such as
a Label) that does the heavy lifting of doing the drawing and size
calculations. To do the coloring, you would just set styles on your
Label depending on the value.
HTH. Thanks for using Pivot and feel free to ask if you need more help.

Hi,
I'm building a TableView using apache-pivot that will have some cells
that will contain a currency value (or '-' if the value is null). For
visual feedback I'd like the text to appear in green if the value is
zero or positive, and in red if the value is negative. I'm not quite
sure where to start with this - any pointers?
Many thanks,
Joseph.
