Set font,color for multiple objecta in one line

How would i set the font and background color of all of these objects to be the same in one command?

Code:

---

  Button bGeography = addButton("Geography 100",50,100,250,75,this);
  Button bSports = addButton("People 100",300,100,250,75,this);
  Button bVocab = addButton("Vocab 100",550,100,250,75,this);

---

Instead of this

Code:

---

                bGeography.setFont(new Font("Arial",1,20));
                bVocab.setFont(new Font("Arial",1,20));     
                bSports.setFont(new Font("Arial",1,20));
                bGeography.setBackground(new Color(139,121,94));
                bSports.setBackground(new Color(139,121,94));
                bVocab.setBackground(new Color(139,121,94));

I presume you would write an addButton() method that takes those parameters and does the appropriate things with them. This looks like a school assignment to me.

I edited the method in my utility class.

Code:

---

  public Button addButton(String text, int left, int top, int width, int height, ActionListener listener, int one, int two, int three)

  {
  Button newComp = new Button(text);
  add(newComp);
  newComp.setBounds(left,top,width,height);
  newComp.setBackground(new Color(one,two,three));
  newComp.setFont(new Font("Arial",1,18));
  if (listener!=null)newComp.addActionListener(listener);
  return newComp;
  }

2. There's no need for a null check. Calling addActionListener(null) does nothing.
