# listRowBackground(_:) Places a custom background view behind a list row item. ``` nonisolated func listRowBackground(_ view: V?) -> some View where V : View ``` ## Parameters `view` The [`View`](/documentation/SwiftUI/View) to use as the background behind the list row view. ## Return Value A list row view with `view` as its background view. ## Discussion Use `listRowBackground(_:)` to place a custom background view behind a list row item. In the example below, the `Flavor` enumeration provides content for list items. The SwiftUI [`ForEach`](/documentation/SwiftUI/ForEach) structure computes views for each element of the `Flavor` enumeration and extracts the raw value of each of its elements using the resulting text to create each list row item. The `listRowBackground(_:)` modifier then places the view you supply behind each of the list row items: ``` struct ContentView: View { enum Flavor: String, CaseIterable, Identifiable { var id: String { self.rawValue } case vanilla, chocolate, strawberry } var body: some View { List { ForEach(Flavor.allCases) { Text($0.rawValue) .listRowBackground(Ellipse() .background(Color.clear) .foregroundColor(.purple) .opacity(0.3) ) } } } } ```  --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
