Question

I didn’t like the default look and feel in java. i am using netbeans.

I wanted windows like look and feel.so i included:

try
{
        UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
}
catch(Exception e) { } 

i have 10 tabs in my frame.After user does some work in each tab(click radiobutton etc),I have to set the background of that tab.

tab.setBackgroundAt(j,new Color(255,0,0));//tab is JTabbedPane

the look and feel is ignoring the above line.I don’t want to change the look and feel.

Answer 1

An an alternative to changing the look and feel, you might be able to achieve something appealing by using Tabs With Custom Components.
