Question

I have defined a BitmapButtonField in Blackberry. But the default grey color background does not go. And the Bluish onFocus border?
How to change them in BB 4.5

Hi this is bitmap button and background color Red

manager=new Field(Field.FOCUSABLE){
                protected void onFocus(int direction) {
                    super.onFocus(direction);
                    flag1=true;
                    invalidate();
                }
                protected void onUnfocus() {
                    flag1=false;
                    invalidate();

                }
                protected void layout(int width, int height) {
                    setExtent(image.getWidth(),image.getHeight());
                }
                protected void paint(Graphics graphics) {
                    if(flag1){
                        graphics.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);
                        graphics.clear();
                        graphics.drawBitmap(0, 0, image.getWidth(),image.getHeight(), image_hover,0,0);
                    }else{
                        graphics.drawBitmap(0, 0, image.getWidth(),image.getHeight(), image,0,0);
                    }
                }
                protected boolean navigationClick(int status, int time) {
                    fieldChangeNotify(1);
                    return true;
                }
            };
            manager.setChangeListener(this);
            add(manager);

output as following image

This is background image and with default background color

manager1=new Field(Field.FOCUSABLE){
                protected void onFocus(int direction) {
                    super.onFocus(direction);
                    flag2=true;
                    invalidate();
                }
                protected void onUnfocus() {
                    button=image;
                    flag2=false;
                    invalidate();

                }
                protected void layout(int width, int height) {
                    setExtent(image.getWidth(),image.getHeight());
                }
                protected void paint(Graphics graphics) {
                    if(flag2)
                        graphics.drawBitmap(0, 0, image.getWidth(),image.getHeight(), image_hover,0,0);
                        else
                        graphics.drawBitmap(0, 0, image.getWidth(),image.getHeight(), image,0,0);
                }
                protected boolean navigationClick(int status, int time) {
                    fieldChangeNotify(1);
                    return true;
                }
            };
            manager1.setChangeListener(this);
            add(manager1);

out put as following
