How to set jbutton color

Question

How to set JButton color?

I tried this:

button.setBackground(Color.red);

but without success. It just changes the color of the button border. Then I tried to overridepaintComponents

public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
   g.setColor(Color.GREEN);
   g.fillRect(0, 0, getSize().width, getSize().height);
}

but now i don't see text in jbutton

Answer 1

The best way to colorize your buttons is to use ImageIcons instead of text. You can use Gimp to develop them.

Make sure the background is transparent !

button.setIcon(new javax.swing.ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("/images/myimage.png")));

This is the disabled button button.setDisabledIcon(...:

This button is on, not pressed:

This is the button with the button pressed:

Changing the background color after clicking is done using Swing. For this you need only 2 images.
