JButton.setBackground(Color color) not working

With JDK 1.4.2, my JButtons below have a blue background. When I compile with 1.5, they are gray. I tried using setOpaque(true) on one of them below. It didn't work. Any ideas?

As a newbie to the forum you obviously didn't understand how to post a simple direct question, with only the relevant code to demonstrate the problem, which is why I provided you with all the extra information to help you get better answers in the future.
Did you bother to read the link of creating an SSCCE?
Your question is about setting the background color of a button. 99% of the code you posted is not related to that issue. Keep the code simple so we don't waste time reading through unnecessary code. That way we can determine whether the problem is with your code or the environment as I already mentioned.
1) Though the information about setting the text color is helpful, the
background color of the button is the subject of the posting. Please
limit your replies to the subject of the posting.If the code posted was only related to the background color then we wouldn't have this issue now would we? When I see something strange or wrong I make a comment whether it is directly related to the question or not. It has been my experience that most people appreciate the bonus advice, so I will not change my behaviour for you. If you don't like the advice, then just ignore it.
2) Regarding, "I don't use 1.5 so I can't really help you, but neither can
anybody else...", please read Michael_Dunn's post, who remarkably
was able to provide help.My comment was related to the code you provided. Nobody could use the code to compile and execute to see if it ran on their machine. So, Michael, had to waste time creating his own simple test program to see if it worked, which it did.
My point was if you provided the same simple demo program that Michael did, then all he (or anybody else) would have had to do would be to copy, compile and test the program. You should be spending the time creating the simple test program not each of us individually. Think of how much time is wasted if everybody who wanted to help you had to create their own program? Thats why I included the link on creating an SSCCE, so the next time we don't need to waste time.
3) ..... Otherwise, it's alright not to reply to a subject. Nobody will think less of you.Of course I don't have to replay to every question (and I don't), but if you don't learn to post a question properly you will make the same mistake again and again. That was the context of my answer. It was designed to help you ask a better question the next time.
4) Your comment, "And don't forget to use the Code Formatting Tags > so the code retains its original formatting." That was a standard message I use for many newbies to the forum. I'm amazed at the number of people who think we are mind readers and can guess exactly what is causing the problem without posting any code. So I got tired of typing in a different message every time and I now just cut and paste. Yes I could have edited the last line out, but you would be amazed at how many people format the code the first time but then forget to do it when prompted for more detail. So I just keep it in all messages.
Please keep your comments related to the problem. I think I've learned a think or two over the years on how to ask and answer a question.

Secondary color correction not working in Premiere CC

Greetings,
I'm unable to build secondary color correction masks in Three Way Color Corrector, RGB Curves etc in the current version of Premiere CC.
In any of these plugins, when I check "show mask" I get the usual white slate filling the frame. But when I use the color picker to make a selection the whole frame stays white. It appears that I'm making selections but it's not building the mask for some reason. When making an extreme color change I can see that the mask is not building as it affects the whole frame.
This started after upgrading to CC. I've recently updated to the most up to date version (yesterday) and am still having the same problem.

*note-my Colleague is not having this problem, he's working on the same OS and same CC build but he has an Imac. So I'm guessing this problem is unique to my hardware config.
Anybody else have this problem or know of a fix?

I have the same Problem new MAC OS Premier Pro CC or Premier Pro CS6 both have an issue with the Title Tool. If you open the title tool and try to make color changes or change size of the font it sticks at the default color and default font. SOmetimes the title tool will work and then when I exit it's back to the default first type location, default font and default color. Sometimes it will not even let me exit the Title Tool.
Please help I have Projects I'm working on Deadlines and I pay a monthly Fee for Software that works and it's not working.

Color controls not working correctly

Why do swatches suddenly not show in the conrol panel? When the object and document are brand new it works, then randomly goes into the stuck mode where if I click on the fill box I get a choice of only no fill or resgistration. I can work around this using the colors panel or color picker, but often the color picker goes haywire too. At that point the file is corrupted and there's no going back. Restarting the program and computer do not help. What's going on?

As I recall, I had been working with 3 separate images, 2 originally grayscale and 1 RGB, that I had live traced (as above, without placing the image in a new ai file). One of the grayscale images let me use the color picker to change fill color, bu not consistenly, and the other one would let me type in values and changed colors on the picker, but only showed shades of gray in the fill box and in the image. The RGB file wouldn't let me change the fill color using swatches, but I don't remember what I tried with the picker.
I think I'm going to chalk it all up to my original mistake of not placing the image in a new file, and subsequently trying everything I could think of to work around the original problem.

Photoshop color field not working in color picker

My color field is not working properly in my color picker. How do you fix this?
WRONG (what my color picking is doing) :
CORRECT (how it should work) :

The catchall first step in correction is to reset the tool which, in this case, is the Eyedropper.
With the Eyedropper chosen, right click here:
If that doesn't solve the problem, a logical next step would be to reset your Preferences.
To reset Preferences:
If Photoshop is already open on your screen, close it (Quit). Then hold down Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and start Photoshop.
A dialog box will pop up asking if you want to delete the existing Preferences file (the "Settings"). Click Yes in the dialog box. The existing Preferences file will be scrapped and a new one will be created.

Color Libraries not working anymore

Hi,
I was creating an .acb (adobe color book) file to access my company's colors from the color picker's color libraries section and everything was going well. It was all working, I've been using it for some time, and then I decided to change the name of my library in the coding.
After that the color libraries stopped working. Not only my color library, but the color library function in Photoshop. Now when I try to access the color libraries section from the color picker, it simply closes the color picker. It doesn't give me any error message. Photoshop doesn't crash or anything, it's only that I can't access the color libraries section.
I tried removing my .acb file from the \Adobe Photoshop CS2\Presets\Color Books folder, but it didn't solve the problem. The color libraries still won't open.
Anyone knows a solution to this problem. It's kind of urgent since I need that color library file working for a tool I'm developping for my company.
Would there be someplace in Photoshop that I could reset Photoshop's color libraries to start from scratch and go back to my old version of the .acb file that was working perfectly, before I changed it's name?
Right now I'm using Photoshop CS2, I should be switching to Photoshop CS3 soon, but I'd like to have a solution to make sure the same problem doesn't happen on CS3.
Thanks.

Hi OldBob,
Thanks for your reply. Actually, I haven't had to try your solutions because for some reason the problem is fixed now. All I did was modify again the code name of my color books to something else and put them back in the color books folder and it got back to life. It still doesn't explain why the problem wasn't fixed when I deleted them from the folder, so I guess if it happens again I'll try your solutions to see if it helps.
Thanks!

PS CS6 Smartobject - Changing color space not working

If I initially open a smartobject from ACR into PS CS6 using one color space, eg. sRGB, should it then be possible to click back into ACR and change color space to Adobe RGB ???
This is important to me, since working most of the time in sRGB, batch editing lot's of files (for timelapse-video, hence sRGB), but sometimes it may be nessecary to go back and use Adobe RGB to make a best possible print of one of the stills.
This is not working for me. I thought I should be able to do absolutely non-destructive editing when working with smartobjects from ACR, but this may seem to not be the case.
Ole

I understand now that a copy of the original RAW file is made when working with SO.
Still, when checking what color space I am working in (in PS CS6), after changing from sRGB to aRGB, PS still tells me I am working in sRGB!!
So what I am asking, going back from a SO in PS, into ACR, to change the color space, does not work.
Is there a workaround for this?
Or is it something I still do not understand here?

Color replacement not working as expected

Hello -
I'm touching up some artwork and I've tried using both the color replacement tool as well as the color replacement adjustment and neither is giving me the results I would expect.
The image has been indexed and I'm not using anti-alias so it's pretty easy to select the colors I want to change and the ones I want to replace them with.
However, when I try to change the color, it's not replacing it with the exact color that I selected but a lighter version of that color instead.
I created an example to show what I am talking about.
In the example I used the color replacement tool.
First I eyedropped the color I want to put in place of the wrong color.
Then I use the color replacement tool (mode: color, sampeling: once) and click and drag over the wrong color.
Instead of matching the color in the foreground (that I had eyedropped) it replaces it with a lighter version of the foreground color.
I was having the same problem when I was using the replace color adjustment.
Please see the attached file for my example.
I was able to get the effect I was looking for by first using mode: color then switching to mode: luminocity and going over the same area a second time.
It would seem that there should be a way to do it in one pass.
Any help is appreciated.

That is the way the color replacement tool works, its an old tool. Color has three parameters, say hue, saturation and lightness (luminosity) as one parameter set. You would need to change all three for the kind of match you are looking for. The color replacement tool lets you change in one click either Hue, or Saturation, or both of these (Color) or Luminosity. In other words ther is no setting for all three. For that you need two applications of the tool.
You should try the color range command on a separate layer with a mask to protect those areas of that color you want to keep and see if that fits your needs.

Mac v6.1 Bg color picker not working?

I am new to this application and working through the
tutorial, and my version is outdated, yea I know, but maybe there
is something simple I am missing here...
When I select a table cell and click on the Bg icon to change
the background color, it brings up the color pallete, I get the
eyedropper tool, and if I mouseover colors on the screen it shows
the color code in the window at the top of the color pallete, but I
am unable to click anywhere on the screen and have it actually grab
that color....I just get an error chime. I can use the color
pallete OK, and can even type in the color code manually that I am
trying to pick up, but geez, that's a pain. Anyone aware if this is
a known problem or if there is a solution?

I've confirmed the color picker bug in 10.6.6. I filed a bug report.
Copy of my report:
Summary: The color picker dialog reports incorrect values on the RGB slider, using DigitalColor Meter as a reference. On the RGB sliders, the picker can fix itself if you use the spyglass on the test color patch.
However, the "web safe colors" Color Palette also has problems. The color names do not match the values reported by DigitalColor Meter.
This is reproducible on both my and my wife's mbp 5,5 13"
Steps to Reproduce:
a) for the RGB sliders:

Color Picker Not Working in Develop Module LR 6

All color pickers in the Book, Slideshow, Print and Web Modules work by clicking in the color picker and dragging to the image then releasing the mouse over the color wanted. However, I am not able to get this to work in the Develop Module.
How can I get the color picker to work in the Develop Module?

I tried UNchecking Use Graphics Processor, and the color picker worked normally.
In addition, it appears the turning the GPU off increased the speed of paint strokes!

Why hyperlink color change not working with Safari?

With several sites I visit when I click on their text link lists I see a colored symbol change to let remind me I visited that site. Unfortunately this only works when I use Firefox or IE, not Safari. Is there a reason this does not work with Safari? Is there anything I can do? thanks.
Safari 3.2.1

Hi ..
YouTube content requires Flash.
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
Click Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
Not empty the Safari cache.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Now click Develop from the menu bar. From the drop down menu click Empty Caches.
Now try a video. If you still have problems, try troubleshooting Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
