Setting background color for a JButton

My java applet includes a dialog where some JButtons have specified colors. The code I have is basically as follows:

JButton button =new JButton();

button.setBackgroundColor(Color.red);

This works fine with some JRE versions, but JRE 1.4.2-06 displays a thin border in red, and the body of the button is white (or perhaps a light gray color). Any ideas on how to make the whole button red?

Thanks.

Are you displaying an icon in the button? That could have its own background colour.

You can create one using BufferedImage (to fit the size of the Button)

The code to do this looks like this:

JButton button = new JButton("Me!!");

int width = 50, height = 50;

BufferedImage buffImg = new BufferedImage(width, height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);

Graphics g = buffImg.getGraphics();

g.setColor(Color.red);

g.fillRect(0, 0, width, height);

button.setIcon(new ImageIcon(buffImg));
