hi,
How do i set the color of a string without not having to do anything like this.
publicvoid paintComponent(Graphics g)
{
g.setColor(Color.RED);
g.drawString("Just a test");
It would be easier if i could do something like this:
String s ="just a test";
//s.setColor(Color.RED);
//or Color.setColor(s);
//I'm just brainstorming :)

Color is not a String property. You will have to continue to do things like the code you posted or use components that support styled attributes like JEditorPane or JTextPane.

Thx for all responses,
I'm trying to return a string with different colors in it;
//I make a string
String s = "";
//a condition
if (tdr == 0)
{
s += "Enemy missed!\n";// >>>>This should look green
}
//and at some other point:
if (generate.nextInt(101) > 75)
{
s +=("Your armor is reduced with 1. \n");//>>>This should look red.
}
//and at the end:
return s;
//s is afterwards displayed in a JTextPane
