Setting selected border colour of a JToggleButton

Question

Hi
I am wanting to be able to change the selected border colour of a JToggleButton. I have already been able to do a similar thing for changing the selected background colour for the JToggleButton by:
button.setUI(new MyUI(Color.gray));
class MyUI extends javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalToggleButtonUI
Color color;
public MyUI(Color c){color = c;}
public Color getSelectColor(){return color;}
however I want the background colour of the toggle button to remain the same whether selected or not (so I'm not using this).
I realise that I can use a MouseListener to do this (I have already done that to change the rollover border colour), but it is more of a pain for the selected border colour, so I was wondering if anyone knew of a similar way to change the selected border colour to the above method?
Thanks

Answer 1

your layerpane lives on top of a container. set the
background of the container.
here is a sample code. In the createAndShowGUI you
can add a line,
frame.setBackground(Color.white) ;

ents/example-1dot4/LayeredPaneDemo2.javaThe program uses JLabels on different layers to display the colours, I would prefer not to use a large white JLabel as my background.
I have tried to set my JFrame background colour using-
frame.setBackground(Color.white) ;It will not work for me
