How to set the JTabbedPane Tab background and Foreground, Height and Width (Both selected and Unselected Tab)

Answer 1

You can control the height as follows:

JTabbedPane tabs = new JTabbedPane();
tabs.setUI(new BasicTabbedPaneUI() {
    @Override
    protected int calculateTabHeight(int tabPlacement, int tabIndex, int fontHeight) {
        return 45; // manipulate this number however you please.
    }
});
