It's quite difficult to know where to start: you've obviously
already got the pygame and livewires documentation, and equally
obviously you already know that once you're into pygame-style
development you're rolling your own all the way. Which means that
there is no one canonical way to produce a list box and to
trigger a set of images on each movement within it, so it's
difficult to post a code fragment.

Having said that I have produced some small widgets for use in 
a pygame-based application here, including a listbox which I 
use for selecting a printer from the available list. 
If this would be of use to you I'm happy to send it. 
Let me know.

And/Or give a clearer idea of what you're up to. And post
some code that you've already done so we can see what
approach you're taking.
