So now you have to override all the gui components just to override one method? I would think that would be a lot of work for very little gain, not to mention it would add unnecessary bulk to your app, don't you think? > renderer does not call getForeground but directly grabs it from a member > variable, this won't work. What you could do is override paint() to set Everything that descends from component inherits setBackground/getBackground and setForeground/getForeground. I don't know off the top of my head, of any components in the java libraries that ignore those properties. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
