Changing stroke color of simple button

How do you change the stroke color of a simple button? I have
50 simple buttons representing the 50 U.S. states. When I change
the fill color with the following algorithm, I also eradicate the
outline (stroke) color. How do I code in a stroke color?

Unfortunately I think you can't use SimpleButtons for this.
ColorTransform adjusts the color of the entire object as you found
out. To adjust just the color of a fill object, you would have to
separate out the fill and stroke into two objects inside the
button, then make the fill a MovieClip and give it an instance
name, say "fill", and target it that way:
var t = new ColorTransform();
t.color = 0xb43030;
btn.fill.transform.colorTransform = t;
Unfortunately, SimpleButton is not a DisplayObjectContainer
so I don't think you can have it contain any MovieClips, such as
fill. You will have to change all your buttons to MovieClips first.

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));

Changing Highlight Color Behind Theme Button

Hello -
I've scoured this message board and saw similar postings, but none that answered my question on how to change the highlight color behind the theme button. I put together a DVD w/button themes that play the videos inside, and when my friend goes to click on the buttons, in order to play that chapter, he sees the 'white highlight' that represents which button he is selecting. He has asked me if I can change that highlight color - is this something I can do in iDVD5? Thanks!!

Happy editing!

How can I change the color of the buttons in Firefox 8?

I have Stylish, and had a code to change the button colors (Home, Forward/Back, Reload, etc.). But now it isn't working. Is there an HTML code in order to be able to do this with Firefox 8? I would also like a code to change the background color of the Bookmarks Toolbar, if there is one.
Thanks!

The box will print... but there is no way to just assign a color to a box. The closest you can get is ot create a small solid colored image in Photoshop and assign that to the box. You may get a resolution warning but as long as it's a solid color it does not matter how few pixels you have.

Can you change the color of menu buttons dynamically?

Hello, Newbie Here,
Built my first Xcelsious front end and linked to two personnel databases. Everything works just fine. The outputs on this particular visualization generate completion statistics for 12 divisions and a 13th for combined. Don't know enough about the software yet to know whether I can make the menu buttons appear in red for those that have not accomplished a 100% compliance to the task being tracked? This would make it visually easier for upper management to click directly on the division menu buttons in red, rather than have to click on all of them to see which divisions haven't achieved completion. Also, wouldn't hurt to be able to turn the other menu buttons green for those that have completed. Any ideas are appreciated, really scratching my head at the moment.
Thanx,
Dan

Need to change stroke color of an object in a script

I need the finished script to create a rectangle with no fill and a 20% gray stroke to outline each artboard. I dug this up off these boards, which works perfectly except the rectangles created have no fill or stroke. if anyone could help out on this, it'd be greatly appreciated and certainly save me a lot of time drawing rectangles on a daily basis. Thanks!
#target illustrator
var docRef = app.activeDocument;
var artboardRef = docRef.artboards;
for(i=0;i<artboardRef.length;i++){
     var top=artboardRef[i].artboardRect[1] ;
     var left=artboardRef[i].artboardRect[0];
     var width=artboardRef[i].artboardRect[2]-artboardRef[i].artboardRect[0];
     var height=artboardRef[i].artboardRect[1]-artboardRef[i].artboardRect[3];
     var rect = docRef.pathItems.rectangle (top, left, width, height);
     rect.fillColor = rect.strokeColor = new NoColor();

PATH CONTROL? Selection of, changing fill and stroke colors, moving & arranging? WHEN

When is "Ideas" going to have BASIC, vector and path controls???
The ability to select, move and arrange individual paths?
The ability to fill and change stroke colors?
Shape tools?
I would've expected this from the start. This is not 1988 all over again... or is it?
And what's this racket with "layers"? You charge a premium for the app and then want people to pay again for simple features? Layers would be less important if the app could do what it should to begin with.

Hi Mark,
Please post ideas for improvements using the Submit an Idea button, please post each idea as a separate thread, this is so others can vote on the idea if they had the same one or like the idea, The product team reviews these when considering what features to add.
I'm not really sure why Adobe has the option for additional layers as an in app purchase but you could create an idea post to request this changed as well.

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 do I change the color of the Firefox button?

I find the solid orange of the Firefox Button a constant distraction in the corner of my eye. I'd like to change the color of the button--if it were the same color as the the tabs, that would be perfect. I like the general layout of Firefox 4, but that solid orange is very annoying to me.

Changing the color of text while mouse listener.

Hi all. working on an assignment for school and I need a little hint.
I am creating an applet to basically input names in txt blocks, and then you hit a button that will move the names to a text area. Well the instructor asked us to use a mouse listener to change the color of the labels on the txt blocks. Basically when you hover your mouse over the button it is supposed to change the color of the button (for and back ground), and change the color of the labels on the txt blocks.
I just did a general setForground(color.blue);
for my labels default color and it seemed to do the trick, I used the following code to try to change the color of both the buttons and the txt block labels, but only the button works.
Please assist..
public class Assignment2 extends java.applet.Applet implements ActionListener, MouseListener {
public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e){
//Colors Back
setForeground(Color.blue);
btnAdd.setForeground(Color.red);
btnAdd.setBackground(Color.yellow);
//Clear Status bar
showStatus("");
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
//empty Method
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e){
//empty method
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e){
//empty method

HI,
Sorry for delay. I was not on my seat.
I've modified your code and the label colors are changing now on the mouse over or out events.
I did this only for a single label i.e. "First Name". Just have a look on the code and do the same for the rest labels.
If u feel any problem, then revert to me.

Not clear enough.
Different Themes render Tabbed navigation lists in different way. Take a look at the Tabbed Navigation List template on Page 0. You will need to customize this template to achieve what you want.
