java-programmer, JTable Header / Custom Hi,

I'd like to change the L&F of the JTable Header but I'm not sure how to do
this.

Basically, I want the header columns to look flat instead of raised, with a
custom background color.

Thanks for any Tips.

WT-

If I'm not mistaken you should use the following properties
to get the desired result.

"TableHeader.font"
"TableHeader.background"
"TableHeader.cellBorder"

One way to set these properties is by..

UIManager.put( "TableHeader.background"", new Color( 200, 0, 0 ); );
etc..


Hope that helps.

I was a bit too quick there and one semi-colon too many
showed up. The line should read:

UIManager.put( "TableHeader.background"", new Color( 200, 0, 0 ) );

-----------------------------------------^

Not to mention one double-quote too many.

Robert,

Your suggestion worked just fine for what I needed to do... with a few
quirks I ironed out with some fiddling.
Thanks,

The line should read:


UIManager.put("TableHeader.background", new ColorUIResource(200, 0, 0));



But there is no need to change these *global* settings. Just use a custom
header renderer and set there any colors etc. you want.

Thanks!

Hmm, that was annoying. I think I'm going blind :-)
