window background color?

[javan00b]

How do I set the background color for a window?

[hardwired]

If your window is a JFrame, JDialog or JWindow you can try

myFrame.getContentPane().setBackground(yourColor)

If it is a Frame of Window you can try

myRef.setBackground(color)

JOptionPanes take a little more work.

If your window is a JFrame, JDialog or JWindow you can try

myFrame.getContentPane().setBackground(yourColor)

Little explanation on this.

You can do this in this way as well.

myFrame.setBackground(yourColor)

In this way, when you run the application, background color flashes and gone. That is because the frame made up of mane components involving. That's why we used a "Content Pane" in the hardwired code.
