JTextField color

how do I change it?

name of my JTextField is kiloText

kiloText.setBackground(White) // does not work

kiloText.setBackground("White") // does not work

kiloText.setBackground(250,250,250) // does not work

are the API's always difficult to understand? or will I get better at understadning them?

thank you.

you have to use java.awt.Color objectsEx:-kiloText.setBackground(new Color(250,250,250)) // does not work

The API for the method setBackgroud for JTextField is as follows - public void setBackground(Color bg) :).So you will have to supply a Color object. Something like - import java.awt.Color;kiloText.setBackground(Color.White);

The original blue didn't comply with the naming conventions for constants, and then BLUE was added. They couldn't remove blue for backwards-compatibility reasons.
