Hi.
I have a JButton with multiple lines of text where I can change the
color of a part of the text by html tag <font> . I now wanted to change
the font color of a disabled button with <font> tag too, but this only
works with Java 6 but NOT with Java 7. See below for an example code
that simply creates a JFrame and places 2 Buttons inside, one is enabled
the other is disabled. Changing the text color of the disabled button
with <font> is only possible with Java 6. See
http://imgur.com/E48le,XRppa#0 for a screenshot of Java 6 and
http://imgur.com/E48le,XRppa#1 for Java 7. It seems like the UIManger
property for color of disabled text is overriding the HTML color
information in Java 7 but not in Java 6.
Is this difference between the two versions wanted and how can I change
the font color of part of the text of a disabled JButton with Java 7?
P.S. My OS is Windows 7 64 Bit and Java versions are 1.6.0_20 and 1.7.0_07
import javax.swing.*;
public class ButDisColorchange {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame f=new JFrame();
f.setSize(300,200);
JButton bEnabled= new JButton("<html><font color=\"green\">This
is an</font> <i>ENABLED</i> Button</html>");
JButton bDisabled= new JButton("<html><font color=\"red\">This
is an</font> <i>DISABLED</i> Button</html>");
bDisabled.setEnabled(false);
JPanel pane= new JPanel();
pane.add(bEnabled);
pane.add(bDisabled);
f.add(pane);
f.setVisible(true);
}
}
