Color of a titled border

- I created a panel with a titled border.
- I have a background image.
- There is a gray rectangle around the title in the border that I don't
want to have because I want to see the background image.
How can I handle this?? With panel I used setOpaque(false) but what can I do with border?

Hi,
How do you create the titled border? Are adding a border to your titled
border?
If you haven't, try this:
jPanel.setBorder(new javax.swing.border.TitledBorder(null, "TITLE", javax.swing.border.TitledBorder.CENTER, javax.swing.border.TitledBorder.DEFAULT_POSITION, new java.awt.Font("Dialog", 0, 11), new java.awt.Color(51, 0, 102)));
I've just pasted this from one of my apps, and I don't have any gray rectangle arround the title...
Hope it helps,
ANeto

Changing the text color of a titled border

Hello everyone,
I have an applet that I have created. The background color of the applet is black. My jpanels have titled borders. I cannout figure out how to change the color of the titled border text to a different color other than black. Can anyone tell me how to do this please?
Dave

Hi,
Not exactly sure what you are putting a border around, but here is one example of using a border and changing the color and the placement of the title. In this instance editor is a JTextPane:
TitledBorder tb = new TitledBorder("Title");
tb.setTitleColor(new Color(128,0,0));
tb.setTitleJustification(TitledBorder.LEFT);
editor.setBorder(tb);

Component in adf like titled border

Hi,
I'm using jdveloper 11.1.2.3.0
I'm looking for a component in adf like the titled border in java swing:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/border.html#demo
any idea?
Thanks!

Hi,
you can use af:decorativeBox. Unlike in Swing the border is not controlled by properties but CSS (skinning). What af:decorativeBox gives you though are default color schemes you can set using properties

How to change the color of a title bar

Hello !
I try to change the color from my title bars, but I fail.
I tried to change the activeCaption value to an other colour, but that didn�t work. Currently I use a own LAF and set it with UIManager.setLookAndFeel("dpg.beans.GuiWindowsLookAndFeel");
import javax.swing.UIDefaults;
import com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel;
public class GuiWindowsLookAndFeel extends WindowsLookAndFeel {
protected void initSystemColorDefaults(UIDefaults table) {
    String[] colors = {
       "activeCaption", "#B0171F"
     loadSystemColors(table, colors, false);
}I also used the complete stringarray from WindowsLookAndFeel and only changed that one color. Still no changes.
Any ideas ?

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
class Testing
public void buildGUI()
    UIManager.put("activeCaption", new javax.swing.plaf.ColorUIResource(Color.YELLOW));
    JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
    JFrame f = new JFrame();
    f.setSize(200,100);
    f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
    f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    f.setVisible(true);
public static void main(String[] args)
    SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
      public void run(){
        new Testing().buildGUI();
}

How do you change the color of the title text?

The main title text for the tap your currently on shows up centered one line above the tab row. The default is black text, with a gray drop shadow, but that doesn't work with dark background themes/personas. How do I go about changing that text color so that its visible on a dark background. I've tried changing font stylings in general for the browser, and I've tried changing the color values in the about:config for the persona, but none of that works. How do you change the color of the title text?

That colors option under content doesn't change the color of the title text, but thanks anyways

Change background color of List Title

I am able to change the text color however, I am not able to change the background color of the Title on my List.
The list template I am using is Vertical Unordered List without Bullets.
Here is my code :
My List Title.
The text color is pink, however the background color remains blue.
Do I need to create a new template for the list ?

Please surround your HTML with the the following tag We need to check if your code is displaying properly.

Looks like no way to do it??depends on the L&F you want.
here's one way
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
class JFrameTester {
public static void main(String[] args) {
 JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
 UIManager.put("activeCaption", new javax.swing.plaf.ColorUIResource(Color.RED));
 UIManager.put("activeCaptionText", new javax.swing.plaf.ColorUIResource(Color.YELLOW));
 String title = "Hello World";
 JFrame f = new JFrame(title);
 f.getLayeredPane().getComponent(1).setFont(new Font("Tall Paul",Font.ITALIC,24));
 f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
 f.setSize(250, 250);
 f.setLocation(300,200);
 f.getContentPane().add(new BorderLayout().CENTER, new JTextArea(10, 40));

Changing color on the title bar

How can I during runtime change the color of the title bar? I want to flash the title bar to warn, but I haven't found the function to set the color of it yet...
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Andreas

since 1.4 you can use
JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated( true );
JDialog.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated( true );to get jframes and jdialogs looking like jinternalframes. but i don't know if it is now possible to change the color.

Color of the title bar

HI
How do you change the color of the title bar of a frame....also is it possible to paint an image on the tile bar so that its looks could be enhanced..pls help

Hi Arya,
There are 2 questions here, 1 is simple to answer the other is quite difficult.
How do you change the color of the title bar of a frameSimply add the colors you want to the UIManager
UIManager.put("Frame.activeTitleBackground", new ColorUIResource(YOURCOLOUR_BACKGROUND));
UIManager.put("Frame.activeTitleForeground", new ColorUIResource(YOURCOLOUR_FOREGROUND));
UIManager.put("Frame.inactiveTitleBackground", new ColorUIResource(YOURCOLOUR_INACTIVE_BACKGROUND));
UIManager.put("Frame.inactiveTitleForeground", new ColorUIResource(YOURCOLOUR_INACTIVE_FOREGROUND));
also is it possible to paint an image on the tile bar This is a bit more tricky. You will need to implement your own RootPaneUI which in turn uses a TitlePane class that represents the title bar. In your implementation of the title bar you will handle adding an image.
Have a look at MetalRootPaneUI and MetalTitlePane to get an idea about the implementation.

Dynamically setting the color of the title in a Panel

Hello, I know I can set the color & font of the title in a Panel using the titleStyleName in a stylesheet. How can I dynamically change the color though? I have a component:
<mx:Panel id="myPanel"borderColor="{this.color1}" />
where this.color1 is a value that changes dynamically, and thus changes the border color. How do I do this for the color of the text in the title?

Hi,
Try this
var css:CSSStyleDeclaration = StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration(".myPanelTitle");
css.setStyle("color",0x00FF00);

How can I change the color of a title bar?

Ok, I have been looking for this answer for over a week now and nobody
has yet given me an answer that works. So I am going to ask again.
Here is a piece of code you can run to see what I am trying to do:
public class RemoteDisplayFrame extends JFrame {
public static final Color GRAY70 = new Color(179, 179, 179);
public RemoteDisplayFrame() {
super();
public RemoteDisplayFrame(String title) {
super(title);
public void setBorderContent() {
this.setUndecorated(true);
JRootPane rootPane = this.getRootPane();
rootPane.setWindowDecorationStyle( JRootPane.PLAIN_DIALOG );
this.setRootPane( rootPane );
public static void main( String [] args ) {
RemoteDisplayFrame frame = new RemoteDisplayFrame( "Test Frame" );
frame.setBorderContent();
frame.pack();
frame.show();
Run this code and you should get a frame on your screen that has no
close buttons, minimize buttons, or maximize buttons, and no menu.
I want to change the title bar's color to a specific color.
That color is GRAY70:
public static final Color GRAY70 = new Color(179, 179, 179);
If you have any idea on how to do this please do tell.

AFAIK, you can't. I believe the title bar is rendered by the operating system, using the colors the user has chosen, consistently for all windows. Frankly, if your app could, it would annoy me, as I would still want all my windows to look consistent.

How/can I change the color of the title or word in a text box?

Also, can I change the background color too? If so, how? Thanks!

Select the title / text and then click on the "i" (inspector). A colored pin wheel shows up after you click on the square box directly below the font settings inside the inspector window. Then simply drag the dot to the color you want. Like this:
