JTree - background color

hello,
iam trying to set the backgroung color of my tree, i tried using tree.setBackground(Color.gray) but it did not work, i checked out the documentation but it did not specify how to do that, please can someone help?
asrar

ah i finally got the solution, thanx ttarola for the renderer tip coz that did the trick, here is how i did it:
     DefaultMutableTreeNode top = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("Links");
     DefaultTreeCellRenderer linksRenderer = new DefaultTreeCellRenderer();
        createNodes(top);
        links = new JTree(top);
        links.putClientProperty("JTree.lineStyle", "Angled");
        linksRenderer.setBackgroundNonSelectionColor(Color.gray);//this did the trick
        linksRenderer.setBackgroundSelectionColor(Color.gray);
        linksRenderer.setLeafIcon(new ImageIcon("middle.gif"));
        links.setCellRenderer(linksRenderer);
        linkScroller = new JScrollPane(links);thanx guys for the suggestions and help.

JTree background color. How to...?

I have set the background color of Jtree to pink and have used setOpaque(true). Now when ever I click on a node the node's color is not changing to the default blue color. How to change it?

How can I create an alt background color for items in a jlistbox or jtree

What I'm looking to do is have a white background for say items 1,3,5, etc. and a light yellow background for items 2,4,6, etc. I was wondering how can I set an alternative background color on items in a JTree or a JList

Use a cell renderer:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class ListAlternating extends JFrame
     public ListAlternating()
          String[] items = {"one", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six", "seven"};
          JList list = new JList( items );
          list.setVisibleRowCount(5);
          list.setCellRenderer( new MyCellRenderer() );
          JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane( list );
          getContentPane().add( scrollPane );
     public static void main(String[] args)
          ListAlternating frame = new ListAlternating();
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
          frame.pack();
          frame.setLocationRelativeTo( null );
          frame.setVisible( true );
     class MyCellRenderer extends DefaultListCellRenderer
          public Component getListCellRendererComponent(
               JList list, Object value, int index, boolean isSelected, boolean cellHasFocus)
               super.getListCellRendererComponent(list, value, index, isSelected, cellHasFocus);
               if (!isSelected)
                    setBackground(index % 2 == 0 ? list.getBackground() : Color.LIGHT_GRAY);
               return this;
}

JTree custom renderer setting selection background color problem

Hi,
I have a JTree with a custom icon renderer that displays an icon. The JTree is part of a TreeTable component. Iam having a problem setting the selection background uniformly for the entire row. There is no problem when there is no row selected in the JTable.
My present code looks like this:
Iam overriding paint in my renderer which extends DefaultCellRenderer.
     super.paint(g);
        Color bColor = null;
        if(!m_selected) {
             if(currRow % 2 == 0) {
                  bColor = Color.WHITE;
             } else {
                                                bColor = backColor;
        } else {
             bColor = table.getSelectionBackground();                  bColor = getRowSelectionColor();
     if(bColor != null) {
                       g.setColor(bColor);
         if(!m_selected) {
               g.setXORMode(new Color(0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF));
         } else {
             g.setXORMode(new Color(0x00, 0x00, 0x00));
              I have a color I arrive at using some algorithm that I want using method getRowSelectionColor(). The other cells in the row have this color. But the cell containing the tree node shows different color. Iam not able to arrive at the right combination of the color to set and the xor color so my tree node also looks like the other cells in the row.
It is not a problem really as the table still looks good. Its just that the tree node looks like it has been highlighted and this might cause a problem when a table cell is highlighed later on in the application ( two cells in the row would be highlighted causing confusion).
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Camickr,
Thanks for the reply. Iam sorry I didn't include the sources the first time around. There were too many of them. I have created a small, self-contained, compilable program that demonstrates the problem and including it herewith. Still there's quite many files but they are all needed Iam afraid. The only one you will have to concern yourself fior this problem is the file IconRenderer.java. The treenode background and the other cells background are not in sync when table row is not selected in this example though. But they are in my real program. I just need them to be in sync i.e have the same background color when the row is selected.
Your help would be very much appreciated.
These are the files that are included below:
1. AbstractTreeTableModel.java
2. Bookmarks.java
3. BookmarksModel.java
4. DynamicTreeTableModel.java
5. IconRenderer.java
6. IndicatorRenderer.java
7. JTreeTable.java
8. TreeTableExample3.java (contains main)
9. TreeTableModel.java
10. TreeTableModelAdapter.java

Setting jtree objects' color

Hi all
I have a small (?) problem changing the background color of a jtree object.
I change the background color to black with setBackground method but the objects in it remains white. I want them to be in black background color, too. and I couldn't find a solution. How can I do that?
thanks

I have a small (?) problem changing the background
color of a jtree object.Do you mean the instance of JTree, or one of its nodes?
Just a few guesses - the Swing experts are in the Swing forum:
- maybe the tree background is transparent and you actually see the background of the pane it's on. Did you set the JTree to be opaque?
- did you think about custom renderers?

Setting Background Color for a tree node

I have the following code
====================================================================================
public class IconNodeRendererClass extends DefaultTreeCellRenderer {
//* getListCellRendererComponent
/**Return a component renderer based on the passed in components*/
public Component getTreeCellRendererComponent(JTree tree, Object value,
boolean sel, boolean expanded, boolean leaf,
int row, boolean hasFocus) {
Component c = super.getTreeCellRendererComponent(tree, value,
sel, expanded, leaf, row, hasFocus);
ImageIcon icon = ((IconNodeClass)value).getIcon();
if (((IconNodeClass)value).isRoot()) {
c.setBackground(Color.blue);
setIcon(null);
return c;
if (icon != null) {
setIcon(icon);
return this;
}// end getTreeCellRendererComponent
}// end IconNodeRendererClass
====================================================================================
I would like to have a gray color to the root node before even I selected the root node.
Can I do that by setting the background color?
With the below code I am unable to set the background color to the root node even when I selected it. what else can i write to set the color to the root node?
if (((IconNodeClass)value).isRoot()) {
c.setBackground(Color.blue);
setIcon(null);
return c;

I gave the following on your advice. But the background color is set to all the nodes. I want it to be set it to only the root node. How can I do that? Thanks.
if (((IconNodeClass)value).isRoot()) {
setOpaque(true);
c.setBackground(Color.gray);
updateUI();
setIcon(null);
}

Selection background color in a custom TreeCellRenderer

I'm trying to write a custom TreeCellRender and I'm not having any luck getting the selection to work. When I click on a node (leaf or not) the color of the node does not change. If I use the default renderer instead of my custom renderer selection works fine. I've tried everything I can find on the web, setOpaque(true) setTextSelectionColor() etc but I'm not getting anywhere. I've also tried setting the background color in getTreeCellRendererComponent() based on the selected boolean. Still nothing.
Here's my code:
class PackageTreeRenderer extends DefaultTreeCellRenderer {
     public PackageTreeRenderer() {
          setOpaque(true);
          setTextSelectionColor(getBackgroundSelectionColor());
     public Component getTreeCellRendererComponent(JTree t,Object value,boolean sel,boolean expanded,boolean leaf,int row,boolean hasFocus) {
          DefaultMutableTreeNode node = (DefaultMutableTreeNode) value;
          Object obj = node.getUserObject();
          if(obj instanceof String) {
               String name = (String) obj;
               setText(name);
          if(obj instanceof ResultPackageInterface) {
               ResultPackageInterface rpi = (ResultPackageInterface) obj;
               String name = "Name";
               try {
                    name = rpi.getDescription();
               catch(RemoteException ex) {
                    errorMessage(ex);
               setText(name);
          if(leaf) {
               setIcon(getLeafIcon());
          else {
               if(expanded) {
                    setIcon(getOpenIcon());
               else {
                    setIcon(getClosedIcon());
          return this;
}Hope someone can help.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone but I got it working. Instead of extending DefaultTreeCellRenderer it works if I extend JLabel and implement TreeCellRenderer. Here's my code for future reference:
class PackageTreeRenderer extends JLabel implements TreeCellRenderer {
     public PackageTreeRenderer() {
          setOpaque(true);
     public Component getTreeCellRendererComponent(JTree t,Object value,boolean sel,boolean expanded,boolean leaf,int row,boolean hasFocus) {
          DefaultMutableTreeNode node = (DefaultMutableTreeNode) value;
          Object obj = node.getUserObject();
          setText(obj.toString());
          if(obj instanceof String) {
               String name = (String) obj;
               setText(name);
          if(obj instanceof ResultPackageInterface) {
               ResultPackageInterface rpi = (ResultPackageInterface) obj;
               String name = "Name";
               try {
                    name = rpi.getDescription();
               catch(RemoteException ex) {
                    errorMessage(ex);
               setText(name);
          if(leaf) {
               setIcon(UIManager.getIcon("Tree.leafIcon"));
          else {
          if(expanded) {
               setIcon(UIManager.getIcon("Tree.openIcon"));
          else {
               setIcon(UIManager.getIcon("Tree.closedIcon"));
          if(sel) {
               setForeground(UIManager.getColor("Tree.selectionForeground"));
               setBackground(UIManager.getColor("Tree.selectionBackground"));
          else {
               setForeground(UIManager.getColor("Tree.textForeground"));

JTable cell background color

Hi All,
I want to change the background color of the same of the cells in jTabel. How can I do that.
Like, I want to keep 3 cells in red color. Another 2 cells in in green color, And keep other cell background color to default.
Also I want to change the background color of the cell, with different selection in other component(like jTree, jList).
Thank you,
Avin Patel

The same cell renderer is used by all cells of the table. You can't just set the background color of a cell once. You have to reset it every time the cell renderer is called (depending on which row/column you are being asked to render). Here is an example:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.table.*;
public class TableCell extends JFrame
     JTable table;
     public TableCell()
          Object[][] data = { {"1", "A"}, {"2", "B"}, {"3", "C"}, {"4", "D"} };
          String[] columnNames = {"Number","Letter"};
          DefaultTableModel model = new DefaultTableModel(data, columnNames);
          table = new JTable( model );
          // Set default cell renderer
          TableCellRenderer renderer = new TestRenderer();
          table.setDefaultRenderer(Object.class, renderer);
          JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane( table );
          getContentPane().add( scrollPane );
     public static void main(String[] args)
          TableCell frame = new TableCell();
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
          frame.pack();
          frame.setVisible(true);
     class TestRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer
          public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(
               JTable table,
               Object value,
               boolean isSelected,
               boolean hasFocus,
               int row,
               int column)
               super.getTableCellRendererComponent(table,
               value, isSelected, hasFocus, row, column);
               if (column == 0)
                    setHorizontalAlignment( LEFT );
                    setBackground( Color.blue );
               else
                    setHorizontalAlignment( RIGHT );
                    setBackground( Color.green );
               if (row == 1)
                    setBackground( Color.red );
               return this;

How to give Common Background color for all JPanels in My Swing application

Hi All,
I am developing a swing application using The Swing Application Framework(SAF)(JSR 296). I this application i have multiple JPanel's embedded in a JTabbedPane. In this way i have three JTabbedPane embedded in a JFrame.
Now is there any way to set a common background color for the all the JPanel's available in the application??
I have tried using UIManager.put("Panel.background",new Color.PINK);. But it did not work.
Also let me know if SAF has some inbuilt method or way to do this.
Your inputs are valuable.
Thanks in Advance,
Nishanth.C

It is not the fault of NetBeans' GUI builder, JPanels are opaque by default, I mean whether you use Netbeans or not.Thank you!
I stand corrected (which is short for +"I jumped red-eyed on my feet and rushed to create an SSCCE to demonstrate that JPanels are... mmm... oh well, they are opaque by default... ;-[]"+)
NetBeans's definitely innocent then, and indeed using it would be an advantage (ctrl-click all JPanels in a form and edit the common opaque property to false) over manually coding
To handle this it would be better idea to make a subclass of JPanel and override isOpaque() to return false. Then use this 'Trasparent Panel' for all the panels where ever transparency is required.I beg to differ. From a design standpoint, I'd find it terrible (in the pejorative sense of the word) to design a subclass to inconsistently override a getter whereas the standard API already exposes the property (both get and set) for what it's meant: specify whether the panel is opaque.
Leveraging this subclass would mean changing all lines where a would-be-transparent JPanel is currently instantiated, and instantiate the subclass instead.
If you're editing all such lines anyway, you might as well change the explicit new JPanel() for a call to a factory method createTransparentJPanel(); this latter could, at the programmer's discretion, implement transparency whichever way makes the programmer's life easier (subclass if he pleases, although that makes me shudder, or simply call thePanel.setOpaque(false) before returning the panel). That way the "transparency" code is centralized in a single easy to maintain location.
I had to read the code for that latter's UI classes to find out the keys to use (+Panel.background+, Label.foreground, etc.), as I happened to not find this info in an authoritative document - I see that you seem to know thoses keys, may I ask you where you got them from?
One of best utilities I got from this forum, written by camickr makes getting these keys and their values very easy. You can get it from his blog [(->link)|http://tips4java.wordpress.com/2008/10/09/uimanager-defaults/]
Definitely. I bit a pair of knucles off when discovered it monthes after cumbersomely traversing the BasicL&F code...
Still, it is a matter-of-fact approach (and this time I don't mean that to sound pejorative), that works if you can test the result for a given JDK version and L&F, but doesn't guarantee that these keys are there to stand - an observation, but not a specification.
Thanks TBM for highlighting this blog entry, that's the best keys list device I have found so far, but the questions still holds as to what specifies the keys.

Can I change the background color of a video thumbnail to view a silhouettes transparancy in Bridge

I see this question asked a ton on here, and never EVER am I finding an answer. I know in the past (Adobe CS 5) in Bridge you could view the transparency of a black silhouette image against a medium grey so you could see the content of the clip. Adobe changed that with CS 5.5 & on, and never seems to want to answer question when we members ask. PLEASE ADOBE ANSWER!!
How can I view a black silhouette image in Bridge when Adobe had decided to make the transparency black instead of grey? (Ideally the transparency of a video file should show as a grid as it does in ALL OTHER Adobe products.
PLEASE HELP. We use bridge heavily in production to organize our assets, and this change not being addressed kills our asset searching time because we have to open each clip to view it, rather than being able to preview it, which is what the Bridge is for.
Thanks.
P.S. Do not tell me how to change the programs background color as this is not the question. The question is how do I change the color of the transparency display for video clips.

Hi Peter
The associated FCM file provides us a clue as to Captivate's
pedigree. What we know today as Captivate is a product that was
born into the world and dubbed "FlashCam". This file contains
information about margins. So FCM means, FlashCam Margins.
If all you are doing is adjusting the colors a bit, you may
copy the associated files to new names. Then modify the colors as
desired and all should be well.
Cheers... Rick

Hi,
several html tags have the attribute bgcolor, like
<body bgcolor="red"> or <body bgcolor="RRGGBB"> where RR, GG, BB is an hexadecimal value according to RGB color palette.
you can also work with CSS and in this case you affect the attribute style, which is also available in several tags:
document.body.style.backgroundColor="#EEEEEE"

<p class="c3"><strong class="c2">Using Octenol to Attract Mosquitoes<br /></strong><br /></p>
<p class="c3">Octenol is an natural chemical that occurs naturally as a by-product of plants and some animals that eat a lot of vegetable produce. If carbon dioxide is mixed with octenol, it has been found to be an attractant to several mosquito species. There are other insects such as no-see-ums and biting midges that are also attracted to this scent. It has been proven to be a very effective product, especially for no-see-ums.<br />
<br />
<img src="images/12137165-cartoon-stop-mosquito.jpg" width="168" height="168" alt="mosquito" /><br />
<br />
Octenol is also a pesticide ingredient that is used to attract mosquitoes and biting flies. It does not kill the insects; it only attracts them. It can be used in combination with other products and devices that do kill them once they are successfully attracted to the device. It is important to be aware that non-pest insects are also attracted and destroyed by some of the devices.<br />
<br />
If octenol is ingested, there is a possibility for toxicity. It is not, however, harmful in the air to humans, pets, or the environment. It is vitally important that it is kept safely away from children to avoid the possibility of ingesting. Placement of the attractant and device utilized to catch biting insects should be carefully considered. It should be kept safely away from children and pets.<br /></p>
<p class="c3">To be most effective in mosquito control, the attractant should be placed between the breeding grounds of the mosquito and the area where the people are located. There are range limits that the attractant will reach and this needs to be considered in the placement of the trap as well.<br /></p>

When converting word doc to pdf, my images with text only show the background color of the text box.

I have a word doc that I am trying to conver to pdf. I have jpegs with text boxes on top of them on one page. It looks great on the screen but after I convert to pdf, the text boxes only have half the text, the first half of the text box is just white - the background color. If I take the background color out of the text box, the text converts over fine but I need the background color.
I have tried many things here on the print settings, standard, high quality print, unchecking the compression on the images. Any help?

Using CASE WHEN to change background color

I've done this many times without any problems, but this time its a little different situation and I can't get it to work.
I can use this CASE WHEN statement without any problems.
CASE WHEN
NAME in
(select EMP_REQUEST_NAME from OAX_PTA_LOGGER where
EMP_REQUEST_NAME = NAME and
EMP_ASSIST_NAME is null and
JOB_NO = :P24_JOB_NO)
THEN
'<span style="color:brown;background-color:yellow">'||NAME||'</font>'
ELSE "NAME"
END
"NAME",
But I Cant Get This One to Work
CASE WHEN
NAME in
(select EMP_REQUEST_NAME from OAX_PTA_LOGGER where
EMP_REQUEST_NAME = NAME and
EMP_ASSIST_NAME is null and
JOB_NO = :P24_JOB_NO)
THEN
'<span style="color:brown;background-color:yellow">'||NAME_DISPLAY||'</font>'
ELSE "NAME"
END
"NAME" NAME_DISPLAY,
I'm sure that the problem lies with <"NAME" NAME_DISPLAY> but I can't find my way to a solution.
Does anyone have any ideas for me?
