Changing color of arrow button in JComboBox

Hi all,
Can somebody please help me to change the color of arrow button in JComboBox

The default color uses to draw the arrow is UIManager.getColor("controlShadow"), so if you put a different color there, that would be used for the arrow buttons. Of course, that color is likely used other places as well, and so any other place where it is used would get your changed color too. For example, the scrollbar buttons for the scrollbar in the popup list would likely use that color.
Further, the current look and feel can override this; for example, the Metal L&F creates its own button, which uses its own icon which ends up using a hard-coded color of black when painting the arrow.

How to change color of a button for specific time interval in jsp

How to change color of a button for specific time interval in jsp.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

This was driving me crazy, too--and the previous answers did not seem to work. I eventually found that if I click one of the data symbols in the graph in exactly the right spot (see below), it selects only the data symbols and not the line. I can tell this because the little selection dots will be around each data symbol, but no selection dots will be on the line between the data symbols - like the graphic in Yvan's answer. Then and only then will the color symbol in the tool bar show the color of the data symbol, instead of the color of the line. I believe that you then have to first click on the color swatch in the toolbar and then select your color (or choose Show Colors and select from the color tool). Just clicking a color in the crayon box, for example, did not seem to work unless I first clicked on the color swatch in the toolbar, then clicked Show Colors on that dropdown, and +only then+ clicked the crayon or whatever.
_The right spot to click_ seems to be just above the exact center of the data symbol, at least for the diamond shape symbol that I prefer. Sometimes it takes several tries to hit the right spot. If I miss it, the whole line is selected, which is indicated by the little selection dots on the line, between the data symbols. When I click the right spot, those selection dots go away, leaving only the data symbols selected. Then I can change the color, as described above.
I hope this works for you too.

Change color on a button to show that it has been selected.

Here's what I would like to do:
1) Button with the instance name of "mc" and the color
#666666
2) MOUSE_OVER color is #CC0033
3) MOUSE_OUT color is #666666 —IF the button has NOT
been clicked.
4) CLICK color is #333333
5) New MOUSE_OUT color is #333333—If the button HAS
been clicked.
6) MOUSE_OVER stays the same.
Here's the problem...
1) How do I make a new MOUSE_OUT color of #333333 (the same
as the CLICK color)—If the button HAS been clicked?
2) How do I maintain the MOUSE_OVER color?
I'm starting to pull out my hair! I appreciate any
help!!!!!!!!!! Do I need if's or else's.

You need if's and else's and a variable to judge in that
if... in the MOUSE_OUT handler . The variable should indicate if
the button has been clicked or not and should be set in the CLICK
handler.
var clicked:Boolean = false;
function mcClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
etc...
clicked = true;
function mcMouseOut(event:MouseEvent):void{
var newColorTransform:ColorTransform =
mc.transform.colorTransform;
if(clicked){
newColorTransform.color = 0x333333;
} else {
newColorTransform.color = 0x666666;
mc.transform.colorTransform = newColorTransform;
gotoAndPlay("img1");
}

The problem is the reference. The 'Controls[]' property of the cluster outputs an array of general control references. To use these you have to cast them to the right type so you can use them like you want:

Make box that changes color depending on button pressed

I need to be able to press 1 of 6 buttons that change
graphics to a page on a single-frame site I'm building. This is the
first time I've built a single frame site (calling swf's) and it
seems easy but having the green button fade whatever color exists
down while fading green up and isn't as easy as I thought. In order
for it to be "smart" and know what color is there so it can fade it
(probably even easier way than being color specific - but I
obviously don't know it).
Just getting into the AS2 part of flash and trying to meet
deadlines while learning is hard to do, so thanks for the help!

Hello:
Say you have a page that has 2 regions R1 and R2. Each region has a button that when clicked submits the page. The buttons are named B1 and B2. Further, F1 and F2 are the first fields in region R1 and R2. There also is a hidden item named H1 on the page (region does not matter). So, you define a pl/sql page process with a process point of 'After Submit...' with the following codeif :request in ('B1') then
:H1 := 'F1';
end if;
if :request in ('B2') then
:H1 := 'F2';
end if;The APEX built-in variable named 'REQUEST' is automatically assigned a value of the button that caused the page to submit.

Change color of AfCommandButton

Build JDEVADF_11.1.1.3.PS2_GENERIC_100408.2356.5660
Hello,
i want to change the Color of a single button. I have this code in MySkin.css:
.AFButtonBackground:alias{
background-color: Purple;
color: Aqua;
But it changes color all the buttons. how to change the code? Can someone help me plaes?
Thanks in advance
Edited by: NewBB on 04-Nov-2010 06:29

If the state of your button is different from the normal enabled state, then you should use one or more of the standard pseudo-classes :active, :busy, :disabled, :disabled:active, :hover or :hover-target, for example:
af|commandButton.PurpleButton af|commandButton:disabled {
background-color: Purple;
color: Aqua;
}Look at this great article for hints how to investigate what happens and what the correct selectors are:

JComboBox - Hide/Show Arrow Button

hello all,
im stuck. i want a jcombobox to have its arrow button hidden unless the mouse is over it
rite now i have the jcombobox implenting the mouselistener . but i have no idea how to get the object to show/hide the arrow button. i read something about using the ComboBoxUI to hide the button but thatz pernament rite? unless i keep refreshing the ui whenever the mouse moves in or out of the object
any advice will be greatly appreciated.
thx

Open src.zip with Winzip. Look at BasicComboBoxUI.java. Figure out what changes you need to make to make the button disappear. It probably can be done pretty easily if you pick the right spot to change. But don't change BasicComboBoxUI.java. Write your own class that extends BasicComboBoxUI and override the method you picked to change. You may end up rewriting the whole method or just calling super.whatever() and then tweaking.

How to change color of onfocus boder of button

i'm having a code like this MyButtonListener extends BasicButtonListener
public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {
     AbstractButton b = (AbstractButton) e.getSource();
        ButtonModel model = b.getModel();
        if (b.isRolloverEnabled() && !SwingUtilities.isLeftMouseButton(e)) {
            model.setRollover(true);
        if (model.isPressed())
          model.setArmed(true);
    }After doing like this onfocus to button with mouse gives a yellow color focus boder to button. but i want to overide that yellow color to red. how can i do it?

This works with the default Metal L&F with Ocean theme. No guarantee for any other L&F / theme.Border outsideBorder = new MetalBorders.ButtonBorder() {
   @Override
   public void paintBorder(Component c, Graphics g, int x, int y, int w,
           int h) {
      super.paintBorder(c, g, x, y, w, h);
      ButtonModel model = ((JButton) c).getModel();
      if (model.isRollover() && !(model.isPressed() && !model.isArmed())) {
         g.setColor(Color.RED);
         g.drawRect(0, 0, w - 1, h - 1);
         g.drawRect(2, 2, w - 5, h - 5);
CompoundBorder buttonBorder = (CompoundBorder) UIManager.get("Button.border");
buttonBorder = new CompoundBorder(outsideBorder, buttonBorder.getInsideBorder());
UIManager.put("Button.border", new BorderUIResource(buttonBorder));The rollover color will also affect the arrow button of a JComboBox and may affect some other components.

Drop down menu button will not change color

I have built a 6 button rollover dropdown menu bar in Flash CS4
On five of the dropdown menus I can get the buttons to change color
On the fifth dropdown I can see the button, but when rolled over I can't get the color to change.
I have moved the buttons on the fifth drop down to the first drop down button and they work perfectly.
Is this a bug in Flash CS4 or......
thank you
Sb!

I appreciate your reply but those arrows were not the ones I was trying to describe. In the same box where you would type your web address on the far right is a small star and then next to it an arrow pointing down. If you click on this arrow, it normally drops down a list of the websites you commonly use. Or, if you are on a website ordering something, there might be a similar arrow that you need to select in order to choose which shipping you might want such as ground, next day air, etc., these are the kinds of arrows that are not working correctly now. Any ideas on these? Thanks for trying to help me.

How to create a radio button that changes colors

I'm using Acrobat X and ID CS5 on Mac OS X.
A couple of years ago someone on the forums explained to me how to create a button that changes color with each click. You can view a sample PDF at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/52882455/colorcycle.pdf. They gave me the document JS and showed me how to set the properties of the button. I've integrated the button into a particular series of PDF forms and it's worked out very well.
Now I would like to do the same thing, but using a circle instead of a square. Can anyone tell me the best way to do this? Can I somehow set a radio button to cycle through colors in the same way? I design my forms initially in ID CS5 and then activate and format the fields in Acrobat X. I've tried using circles instead of squares in my ID document, but when I export to an interactive PDF, they're converted to squares.
Any ideas?

I understand how to make buttons cycle through colors-- the problem I'm having is that I'm trying to figure out how to make a circular button cycle through colors. When I export my ID document to PDF, my round button maintains it's original appearance, but when I click on it to cycle through the colors, it behaves like a square (see new PDF at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/52882455/colorcycle2.pdf).
If I use a radio button, I can get it to cycle through colors, but I don't want it to have a black dot in the middle. Is there a way to format the radio button to not show the black dot when clicked?

How do i change the color of "Firefox" button on top-left? It just doesn't match with my favorite firefox personas.

It is some kind of dark yellow and is very bright as it seems with some personas. Changing color should not be that big of a deal and i don't wanna download any themes.

It is not straight forward but can be done. You can do this by adding code/scripts to a file called [http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css userChrome.css] to change the appearance of the button. The Stylish add-on makes it easier to make the changes, the latest version of Stylish is available from http://forum.userstyles.org/discussion/24534/stylish-for-firefox-1.1b4
For some samples of scripts you can add to Stylish to change the appearance of the button see http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/921416-share-your-custom-firefoxminefield-4-stylish-scripts/
There are also many scripts available at http://userstyles.org/
Note that some scripts will no longer work as they would have been written for earlier beta versions of Firefox.

How do I change the color of a button in swing?

I'm using swing to create an interface and it's made up mainly of buttons. Gray isn't exactly the prettiest of colors and I'd love if I could change the color.
Cheers,
elmicko

Hi!
You can set the color of each button independently using:
JButton1.setBackground(Color.BLUE); // for the background
JButton1.setForeground(Color.CYAN); // for the text displayedOr if you want all the button to have the same color you can overwrite the look and feel of the application using:
javax.swing.UIManager.put("Button.background", new Color(230, 230, 230));

Button change color on select, then change back

I have 3 buttons, named but,but2,but3. What I want is if you
click a button it changes color to show what page your on. But when
you click a different button now that one is highlighted and the
original one goes back to the original color. Here's the code.
but3.onPress = function () {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
loadMovie("banner3.swf", "container");
container._x = 0;
container._y = 0 ;
I figure I have to add some kind of if statement?
}

I got it. I added this code for each button.
but.gotoAndStop(2);
but1.gotoAndStop(1);
but2.gotoAndStop(1)
