figuring out the current colour of my appelet

[vortexprogramming]

Hi!

I'm new to Java and I have done some regular programming as well as with applets. I was not sure how I would be able to figure out the current color of the background in the applet and just in general. :confused: To set the background, I used:

setBackground(Color.green);

for example. How would I figure out what the current color is...I wanted to make a button that will change the background colo to a certain other one depending on what the colour is.

Thanks a lot in advance! :D

If you'll look at where the setBackground() method is defined and then back up a few lines you'll see the get method that goes with it. That's in the API doc.

Thank you very much! :) I'll look for it.
