My requirement is to change tabs colos of JTabbedPane dynamically. Like change of tabs and selected tabs colors on button click. For the same reason I cannot use UIManager. But tabs color once set and changing tab is not working properly. Also selected tab is always showing default color and not the one I set.
Below is the code:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class TestJTP extends JFrame {
JTabbedPane tabbedPane;
public TestJTP() {
init();
}
private void init() {
tabbedPane = new JTabbedPane();
tabbedPane.addTab("Tab-1", null);
tabbedPane.addTab("Tab-2", null);
tabbedPane.addTab("Tab-3", null);
tabbedPane.addTab("Tab-4", null);
tabbedPane.addTab("Tab-5", null);
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
JButton b1 = new JButton("Orange,blue");
b1.addActionListener(e -> {
tabbedPane.setBackground(null);
tabbedPane.setBackgroundAt(tabbedPane.getSelectedIndex(), null);
tabbedPane.setBackground(Color.orange);
tabbedPane.setBackgroundAt(tabbedPane.getSelectedIndex(), Color.blue);
});
JButton b2 = new JButton("Red,cyan");
b2.addActionListener(e -> {
tabbedPane.setBackground(null);
tabbedPane.setBackground(Color.red);
tabbedPane.setBackgroundAt(tabbedPane.getSelectedIndex(), null);
tabbedPane.setBackgroundAt(tabbedPane.getSelectedIndex(), Color.cyan);
});
JButton b3 = new JButton("Green,magenta");
b3.addActionListener(e -> {
tabbedPane.setBackground(null);
tabbedPane.setBackground(Color.green);
tabbedPane.setBackgroundAt(tabbedPane.getSelectedIndex(), null);
tabbedPane.setBackgroundAt(tabbedPane.getSelectedIndex(), Color.magenta);
});
panel.add(b1);
panel.add(b2);
panel.add(b3);
getContentPane().add(panel, BorderLayout.NORTH);
getContentPane().add(tabbedPane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
pack();
setVisible(true);
setExtendedState(JFrame.MAXIMIZED_BOTH);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
new TestJTP();
}
}
If I understand what you are asking try:
//tabbedPane.setBackground(null);
tabbedPane.setBackground(Color.red);
//tabbedPane.setBackgroundAt(tabbedPane.getSelectedIndex(), null);
//tabbedPane.setBackgroundAt(tabbedPane.getSelectedIndex(), Color.cyan);
UIManager.put("TabbedPane.selected", Color.CYAN);
SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(tabbedPane);
This should reset the default "tab selection color" and the "tab color" for all tabs.
