With the list view you can set the color of the selected list item with SetSelectedTextColor, SetSelectedBackgroundColor and SetSelectedStyle. However, on tree views there is no similar styling, the selected node always swaps the foreground and background color.

I would like to propose adding similar methods to the tree view so that when using a treeview and a list view in the same UI there can be some consistency between the selector.
