JTabbedPane colors changing.

[Targol]

Hi all,

I have a little problem I couldn't solve by myself so if someone can help me...

I put a JTabbedPane in a Swing Application and could find how to change some of the colors of the pane :
- the selected tab title color,
- the background color behind the tabs titles

I tried almost every methods I found in API that are Color related :

Color c = new Color(33,30,25);       
setBackground(c);
setForeground(c);
setBackgroundAt(0, c);
setForegroundAt(0, c);

... but couldn't change these colors.
So If someone can help...

Did you work out the "How to use tabbed panes"-Tutorial, mentioned in the javadocs?

http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/tabbedpane.html

don't visit my homepage:

Yes of course, I already have defined my custom component to display tab titles but could achieve to change the colors as listed in first message...

By the way, I found a way to change the selected tab background color.
I give it to you if it can help :

Color c = new Color(33,30,25);
UIManager.put("TabbedPane.selected",c);
SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(this);

Note : "this" in above code refers to the TabbedPane itself.

Still searching for the way to change the background behind the tab titles...
