Trying to set color of frame caption bar

I've been trying to find out how to change the background color of a JFrame's caption bar. It looks to me like the following should do it:
UIManager.put( "activeCaption", new javax.swing.plaf.ColorUIResource( Color.black ) );
I call this code just after setting the look and feel to Windows, and before instantiating any JFrames.
The JFrame caption background is still the default system color. What am I missing?

I am trying to create a simple animated gif in Photoshop. I've set up my frames and want to use the tween to make the transitions less jerky. When I tween between frame 1 and frame 2 the object in frame two goes out of position, appearing in a different place than where it is on frame 2. Confused!

Hi Melissa - thanks for your interest. Here's the first frame, the second frame and the tween frame. I don't understand why the tween is changing the position of the object in frame 2, was expecting it to just fade from one frame to the next.

I have a MAC computer with Sync. Was set up under sync Beta. I have an Android phone synced to it that was synced using the pair this device function. It works perfectly. I just got a new Android Tablet and am trying to add it to my sync and it does not seem to have the pair my device function. It insists I log into my sync account. So I try it and it tells me invalid userid/password. I verify and it is the exact email address userid that shows as being my sync account on the MAC. I verify the password on the MAC and it tests out fine. Try the tablet again and invalid.. So I try to reset my password on the tablet and am told my email address/account name does not exist. I just verified it AND Synced my MAC using it!! I have my recovery Key but there is no place to input it into the tablet. There is no place on tablet to enter the link device codes. How can my account be valid and in use on two devices but invalid and nonexistant on the new one? And How do I get the New one to sync with other two?

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 to set colors on some condition in barchart

Hi,
I want to design a crystal report with a barchart. I should specify the color of the bar based on some conditions, this colornames are maintained in the database. I tried using chart expert -> color highlights,
is there any other way to set the color of the bar?
Regards,
Deepa V

Hi Deepa,
In charts Color Highlight is the only way to conditionally change the color of the riser bars.
You can use multiple conditions at a time in color highlight.
To change the color directly you can right click the bar and select the Format Series Riser and change the color (but not conditionally)

Hi,
This code will show you the current UI settings.
If you want to change ie. the scrollbar background use:

Setting color in a JTabbedFrame

When trying to set the color in a JTabbedFrame i can set everything except for the title of the selected tab, can anyone give me some help?

If you just want the selected tab to be green as well, put the following line in your JFrame...
UIManager.put("TabbedPane.selected", Color.green);
Example:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
class JTabbedPaneDemo extends JFrame
    public static void main(String[] args)
        new JTabbedPaneDemo().go();
    void go()
        setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        setSize(300, 150);
        UIManager.put("TabbedPane.selected", Color.green);
        JPanel panel1 = new JPanel();
        panel1.add(new JLabel("Foo"));
        JPanel panel2 = new JPanel();
        panel2.add(new JLabel("Bar"));
        JTabbedPane tabs = new JTabbedPane();
        tabs.addTab("Tab 1", panel1);
        tabs.addTab("Tab 2", panel2);
        tabs.setForegroundAt(0, Color.BLACK);
        tabs.setBackgroundAt(0, Color.GREEN);
        tabs.setForegroundAt(1, Color.BLACK);
        tabs.setBackgroundAt(1, Color.GREEN);
        getContentPane().add(tabs);
        show();

How to set mouse listener for title bar of JFrame ?

Hi, all
How to we can set mouse listener for title bar of JFrame ?
Please help

Again, why did you not state this in your original
question? Do we have to ask you every time what your
actual requirement is?
As I said in your last posting, if you don't give us
the reuqirement in you question we can't help you.
Sometimes your solution may be on the right track
sometimes it isn't. We waste time guessing what your
are trying to do if you don't give us the
requirement.
I gave you the answer in your other posting on this
topic. The AWTEventListener can listen to events
other than MouseEvents.
The Swing tutorial has a list of most of the events.
Pick the events you want to listen for:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/events
/handling.htmlthe first, i am sory because my requirement not clear so that it wasted everybody time.
The second, thank for your answer
The third, AWTEvenListener do not support listener event on title bar
but ComponentListener can know when we can change frame position.
please see below that ComponentListener can handle action:
public void componentHidden(ComponentEvent e) {
        displayMessage(e.getComponent().getClass().getName() + " --- Hidden");
    public void componentMoved(ComponentEvent e) {
        displayMessage(e.getComponent().getClass().getName() + " --- Moved");
    public void componentResized(ComponentEvent e) {
        displayMessage(e.getComponent().getClass().getName() + " --- Resized ");
    public void componentShown(ComponentEvent e) {
        displayMessage(e.getComponent().getClass().getName() + " --- Shown");
    }Thanks for all supported your knowledge, you are great !

I am trying to set up Sharing amongst several computers on my home network. I have followed all the setup instructions but after completion Sharing does not appear in my iTunes window (on any of the computers I've set up). There is no explanation why.

I have been trying to set up Sharing between two computers on my network. I did this once and it worked. However, when I try to set this up now the Sharing feature does not appear on the left side of the iTunes window (on either computer). There is no explanation as to why not. Is this a configuration problem, a network problem or what? Can it be fixed? I have tried turning sharing off and back on on both computers but to no avail. What am I missing? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hey innerev2003,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If, while searching through your past purchases, items are unavailable to download and show a "Purchased" button, they are still on your computer. It may be best to search your iTunes library by clicking Music, then use the search bar at the top right.
If you are completely sure the items are no longer in your library, try signing out of the iTunes Store, and then back in.

I'm trying to set up my Ipod, but when I go to sign in with an apple ID it says 'Could not sign in: there was a problem connecting to the server'.

I just bought a 3rd generation ipod touch. It was professionally refurbished. I'm trying to set it up, and everything seems to be working fine, until we get to the wifi. I live on campus and our wifi is username and password protected. I signed in and everything seemed to work fine, and in the top left hand corner I have all the bars for wifi. However, when I go to sign in with an apple ID it says 'Could no sign in: there was a problem connecting to the server'. I've tried turning it on and off again, tried signing on to our wifi again, but it all isn't working. What can I do?

I also encountered the same problem. Try using a different email address or try signing in later.
