Changing the background color of a selected JToggleButton

Question

I am trying to change the color of a JToggleButton when it has been selected in a reliable, look and feel independent way.

If using the Metal L&F, t

Answer 1

When it using "Windows look and feel"; in Netbeans you have to do only two things.

1. Go to properties
2. Un-select 'contentAreaFilled'
3. Select 'opaque'
4. You can set a background color in properties or by hard coding

In other way,

    jToggleButton.setContentAreaFilled(false);
    jToggleButton.setOpaque(true);
    jToggleButton.setBackground(Color.red); //Your color here

That's all.:-)
