Change button's click color in UIManager

Dear all,
I know that it should be done via UIManager
But which method should be used?
It is because it is a button,
is that use getColor(button)??? or anything else.
Thanks

But if i change the look and feel to windows look and feel it shows the windows look only. i sant to change the color to white. how?

de to set the look and feel:
UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel");code to change button property
UIManager.get("Panel.background");
UIManager.put("Button.background", Color.WHITE);
UIManager.put("Button.border", javax.swing.BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.black));
UIManager.put("Button.opaque", true);change button properties are not affecting the jbutton. if i create.
But if i remove the setLookAndFeel line properties are applying. why? remedy? is changing the ButtonUI is only option?

Chaning color when radio button is clicked

Change button color

i have a group of buttons and when each one is clicked its color should change. when another button is clicked the color of previous button should change back to normal..plz help..thanks in advance

Hi Srivatsa,
You can do the same for chnanging your button icons if you have only tow icons to display ....one is default icon and the other one is the icon which you wnat to display when the button is clicked...
Check the below code:
Just replace the image path in the embed variable with your image path and check...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
   private var previousButtonClicked:Button;
   [Embed("assets/Rose20Icon.jpg") ]
         [Bindable]private var buttonIcon:Class;
         [Embed("assets/arrowIcon.JPG") ]
         [Bindable]private var buttonIconDefault:Class;
   private function buttonClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
    if(previousButtonClicked)
     previousButtonClicked.setStyle("icon",buttonIconDefault);
    previousButtonClicked = event.currentTarget as Button;
    Button(event.currentTarget).setStyle("icon",buttonIcon);
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:HBox>
<mx:Button id="btn1" icon="{buttonIconDefault}" label="Button" color="green" click="buttonClickHandler(event);"/>
<mx:Button id="btn2" icon="{buttonIconDefault}" label="Button" color="green" click="buttonClickHandler(event);"/>
<mx:Button id="btn3" icon="{buttonIconDefault}" label="Button" color="green" click="buttonClickHandler(event);"/>
<mx:Button id="btn4" icon="{buttonIconDefault}" label="Button" color="green" click="buttonClickHandler(event);"/>
<mx:Button id="btn5" icon="{buttonIconDefault}" label="Button" color="green" click="buttonClickHandler(event);"/>

Making buttons change colour when clicked on, sounds simple......

hello could somebody please give me the code to make a jbutton change colour when it is clicked on, muuuuuuuuuch appreciated, thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

w e l l - k e w l !
I made a few adjustments here. Mainly for myself:- you know when you JUST CANNOT FIND THAT DARN COLOUR !!! - 'Pandavas' sexy little program is right on the button!
Click on the button and it cycles through colours randomly and tells you the RGB value ...import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class ColorChanges extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
int red = 0;
int blue = 0;
int green = 0;
java.util.Random rand = new java.util.Random();
JButton button = new JButton("Colour Me!");
JLabel label1 = new JLabel("                  The new colours are:                ");
JLabel label2 = new JLabel("");
public ColorChanges() {
    super("RGB VALUES:");
    setSize(200,108);
    setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    button.addActionListener(this);
    getContentPane().setLayout(new FlowLayout() );
    getContentPane().add(button);
    getContentPane().add(label1);
    getContentPane().add(label2);
    setVisible(true);
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent eve) {
        red = (Math.abs((rand.nextInt())%255));
        blue = (Math.abs((rand.nextInt())%255));
        green = (Math.abs((rand.nextInt())%255));
        cooller();
public void cooller() {
      button.setBackground(new Color(red,green,blue));
      label2.setText("RED: "+red+" GREEN: "+green+" BLUE: "+blue);

How to change button colors in a loop?

I am working on a task that should imitate an elevator. I have two vertical
rows of round buttons "Up" and "Down" When a circle is selected randomly by
the program, the circle becomes yellow and the elevator moves to that
button.
Here is what I did:
1. created a class Circle where I save buttons' parameters
2. saved Circle objects in an array
3. drew the buttons depending on their parameters
4. generated a random number, matched it with an array index and assigned
the object color to yellow.
Everything is fine except that I can't figure out how to change colors of my
buttons in a loop.

am sorry, i couldn't make out what exactly the problem, but as ur subject line says...
may be the code give below will help you to change button colors in a loop..
          for(int i = 0; i < button.length; i++){
               int color1 = (int)(250*Math.random());

               button.addActionListener(this);
               //to check the r, g, b combination.

Change state of the button after clicking

Hi,
I've got following problem - I have navigation tollbar that
consits of buttons. The buttons correspond to different pages of a
content that is shown in Loader. I want the button I've just
clicked to chage its state - so the button has to be highlighted in
order to show which page is currently being viewed.
How can I change the appearance of the button after clicking
it? There'restates like Up, Over, Down, Hit but if I add one more
keyframe and than make button.gotoAndPlay(5) while clicking the
button, nothing happens.
Thank you in advance,
Yuri

Instead of actual button, use Movie Clips with multiple
frames and simply send it
to a frame which simulated DOWN state once pressed.

Change Button content when Radio button clicked...

Within my BSP code I have an OnClientClick event against the Radio button tag.
What I need to do is to have some kind of Javascript that changes the context (text) or colour of a button if the Radio button is clicked.
I know very little of how to achieve this and would relish any guidance about how I can get this to work.
I understand that I need to use a reference/handle to the button and change it's values via javascript, but how can I embed this code into my BSP code, what code do I use, and more importantly how can I obtain this reference/handle on the buttion?.
Jon

Hi Jon,
below an Example to do this
(due to security forum restriction replace scrip t with script and o nclick with onclick)
<html>
<head>
<scrip t>
function change_button_text(v_object){
var button = document.getElementById("id_button");
var new_text = v_object.value + ' Clicked!';
if (button.childNodes[0])
        button.childNodes[0].nodeValue=new_text;
    else if (button.value)
        button.value=new_text;
</scrip t>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="radio" name="***" value="male" o nclick="change_button_text(this)"/> Male<br />
<input type="radio" name="***" value="female" o nclick="change_button_text(this)"/> Female
</form>
<button id="id_button">Button Text</button>
</body>
</html>

Where is the "firefox button" that is used to change tab location ("click on the Firefox button, go over to the Options... arrow and uncheck Tabs on Top. ")

Where is the "firefox button" that is used to change tab location ("click on the Firefox button, go over to the Options... arrow and uncheck Tabs on Top. ") (from article).
The "Tools" menu has an "Options" selection, but I cannot find in any of those menus a selection controlling the location of the tabs. Where is the "Firefox Button" referred to in the article "Why are tabs on Top?"

If you turn on the classic menu bar, that replaces the orange Firefox button. To get the Firefox button back, right-click the menu bar to display the toolbars list, and uncheck Menu Bar.
You can always temporarily display the classic menu bar by tapping the Alt key or pressing F10.
The toolbar list pop-up also lets you control Tabs on Top.

How can I programly change button's blink speed, blink forground/background color?

How can I programly change button's blink speed, blink forground/background color?
Besides changing the LabVIEW.ini, is there another method to achieve?

I was about to post a new one on this old thing but came across this when running the exe file from a vi with a blinking and back/foreground color property. In the vi mode everything worked properly as intended with the properties (different color and transparent other than the manual setting under the options->color), including changing the the color under options menu. But the exe file made the BG/FG color to red and yellow while blinking. I came across this topic a long time ago but never used the blinking indicators in the .exe files. NI or someone else has said this is a bug or the default in .exe running environment, please confirm this so I do not have to play around with this.
Also attached is the .ini file from the .exe file and how I add a BG/FG color line to get it working like blue when visible and transparent when not?
Thanks in advance!

Problem with changing calenders and reminders colors

Hello,
Somehow the colors of my two of four calendar just changed them self. I've four calendar:
Day Off (mark in yellow), Home (mark as purple), Work (mark as blue) and School (mark in green).
The two calendar of Home and Work swap their color so Home is mark in blue and Work as purple.
I've tried to change it colors many time, tried difference ones two but it keep turning back. Only this two calendar infected.
Same problem in reminder. it keep turning orange from purple.
All attemps in iPhone and in iCloud.com failed.
Appreciate help.

even "increment and decrement" buttons of JScrollbar are getting updated with "Button.background" colorWhen you invoke the updateComponentTreeUI() method I believe the code updates the properties of components that use the UIResource interface. The default Colors for components use the ColorUIResource class. See [url http://www.camick.com/java/blog.html?name=uimanager-defaults]UIManager Defaults.
So to prevent a component from being changed you need to replace the ColorUIResource with a Color class for the buttons in question.
You might be able to use Darryl's [url http://www.camick.com/java/blog.html?name=swing-utils]Swing Utils class. You can use the class to get all the JButton components used by the scrollbar. Then for each button you could replace the background by using code like:
button.setBackground( new Color(button.getBackground().getRGB(), true) );
