HELP! JEditorPane.setForeground()
I Can't seem to get JEditor and JtText panes to respect calls against setBackground() and setForeground() when displaying a StyledDocument. I checked the documentation and google and came up with this from the Sun Docs:
"The default varies based on the look and feel; to enable it set the client property with this name to Boolean.TRUE."
I'm not sure how to do this, as every time I have attempted it, it has not worked. I've literally blown 4 hours on this, and to be consistent with a GUI design I need to do this. Can someone help me?

Sorry, I suppose I should have pasted more of the documentation, its unclear:
From the documentation for JEditorPane:
--
HONOR_DISPLAY_PROPERTIES
public static final String HONOR_DISPLAY_PROPERTIES
Key for a client property used to indicate whether the default font and foreground color from the component are used if a font or foreground color is not specified in the styled text.
The default varies based on the look and feel; to enable it set the client property with this name to Boolean.TRUE.
Since:
1.5

You use the JComponent method putClientProperty() to specify how the component should behave:import java.awt.Color;
import javax.swing.JEditorPane;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JSplitPane;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
public class EdPaneEg extends JFrame {
public EdPaneEg() {
JSplitPane split = new JSplitPane();
add(split);
JEditorPane left = new JEditorPane("text/html", "Some text");
left.putClientProperty(JEditorPane.HONOR_DISPLAY_PROPERTIES, true);
left.setForeground(Color.RED);
split.setLeftComponent(left);
JEditorPane right = new JEditorPane("text/html", "Some text");
right.setForeground(Color.RED);
split.setRightComponent(right);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
EdPaneEg frame = new EdPaneEg();
frame.setTitle("Example");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
}
});
}
}
