You can do this using SharePoint designer. Please try below steps.

1. • Open the site in SharePoint designer
   • Open the view in edit mode that you wanted to edit
   • Select the grid and click on the  properties--> Cell under Table group in the ribbon control.
   • 
   • Set the border color and size equal to 1
   • Save the change.

Hope this will help you.

Hi,

You need to modify default XSLT of listview webpart. Open your page in designer and use below jquery.

<!–ADJUST TABLE COLUMN WIDTH–>
<script src=”http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.2.6/jquery.min.js“></script>
<script>
$(function(){
$(“tr.ms-viewheadertr th:contains(‘Title’)”, “#MSO_ContentTable”).css(“width”, “50px”);
$(“tr.ms-viewheadertr th:contains(‘Assigned To’)”, “#MSO_ContentTable”).css(“width”, “300px”);
});
</script>

Check this for more info about steps: http://jshidell.com/2010/09/19/adjusting-sharepoint-list-columns-using-jquery/

You can also look into this MSDN article for more customization: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff630941.aspx#odc_sp14_qn_UsingSharePointDesigner2010WorkwithWebParts_CreateXSLTListViewWebPart.

Hope it could help

Thanks for your reply. But this is not what I asked for. I would like to display black grid lines to separate rows and columns in standard list view (not in datasheet view). Is it possible?
