for editable boxes, you'd have to get a reference to the editor's text field and similarly set the border to make it bigger.

i did the following

ComboBoxEditor ced = combo.getEditor();

TextField temp = (TextField)ced.getComponent()

temp.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(5,5,5,5));

temp.setBackground(Color.GREEN);

The setting of color works, but the padding did not. My problem is that in ComboBox if first character is small case, its hard to make out.
