It would be nice to be able to set the background color of the ExpandItem of the ExpandBar.

do you want set the background of the body or the header ?
you can change the background of the body by changing the background of the control that goes in the item.

I have the same issue, and I still can't find any sollution for this.

The item has two parts: the header and the body.

Which one do you want to change the background color ?

I want to change header color, there is no problem with body color.

Changing version tag to something more believable.

I tried setting the background color of all of ExpandBar, ExpandItem and the surrounding Composite, but the background of the ExpandBar remains grey. (On Linux 64bit, SWT 3.6.1.)

Same here, is this an OS limitation or something that can be changed in SWT?

+1 on wanting this feature. It is not working on Mac Catalina. Setting the background property of ExpandBar does nothing.

+1 It would be great to be able to do this. Currently not working for us in macOS either.
