Java change color to JButton Mac OS X

  • 772

I am inserting the following button in a JPanelas follows:

JButton button = new JButton();
button.setBounds(50, 50, 40, 40);
button.setBackground(Color.RED);
button.setOpaque(true);
this.add(button);

Add that I have the layout of the JPanelas null, in order to play with the positions and the size of the button (that's why I have to put truethe setOpaque(), otherwise the color is not seen):

this.setLayout(null);

The problem is that the result is not what I expected, the button is not painted, but an outer contour as can be seen in the image:

How do I have to do it?

    For some strange reason the 'Aqua Look & Feel' Java theme for OS X doesn't let you do this any easier. Once I chose to change the visual theme and then yes. for instance:

    try {
  javax.swing.UIManager.setLookAndFeel( "javax.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel" );
} catch( Exception e ) {
  e.printStackTrace();
}

    ... and boom:
