I use JButtons in my application. They need to have different colors. First I used that btn.setBackground(col);. It works on my computer and on another computer my button just gray (not red, as it's supposed to be). Trying to solve this problem I decided to use images. I do it in the following way: tmp = new JButton(newIcon); Again, it...

I use HTML to put text into a JButton. In this way I can play with colors and text size. What I do not like is the distance from the left border of the button and the text (this separation is too large). Is there a way to decrease this distance?

I have created in my Java Swing application a main window with a JButton. I have added to this button an event listener class (implementing the ActionListener interface) which, every time the button is clicked, launches a "pop-up" window.

It doesn't actually have to be a JLabel under the hood, I just don't want the raised button edge to show up.

I have created a custom JButton class for representing spaces on a monopoly board. The game is multiplayer so a lot of the information needed to draw the button is held on the server (accessed via RMI). My problem is that when I mouse over the button it automatically seems to call repaint() (and draws a border). This makes the program ...

Hi, I want to know how to place JButtons at a particular coordinate in the JFrame. All day I have seen layouts. This does not suit my purpose. I would prefer something like setBounds.
