JTable refreshing

Question

Hi everyone!
here is the problem.Though a different font & color
can be applied to each row of a JTable ,during the
process of refreshing(when i minimize & again maximize the
window,for example),the entire Jtable gets the (same)
colour and font that i applied last.Is there any way
to prevent it from getting repainted this way?Please help me out.Thanks anyway.

If I'm understanding this correctly, you are trying to set the color of the text (or background or whatever) on a row by row basis. If so, try using this renderer as a starting point...
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.table.*;
public class TwoColorCellRenderer extends JLabel implements TableCellRenderer {
  public TwoColorCellRenderer() {
  public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value,
                                                 boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus,
                                                 int row, int column) {
    if(value == null)
      this.setText("");
    else
      this.setText(value.toString());
    this.setOpaque(true);
    this.setForeground(Color.black);
    if(row%2 == 1)
      this.setBackground(Color.yellow);
    else
      this.setBackground(Color.white);
    return this;
