[FIXED] How to Set the Background Color of a JButton on the Mac OS

Issue

Normally with Java Swing you can set the background color of a button with:

myJButton.setBackground(Color.RED);

which would cause the button to be red. But on the Mac OS, this method seems to be ignored. The button just stays the default color.

How can the color of a JButton be set on the Mac OS?

Solution

Have you tried setting JButton.setOpaque(true)?

JButton button = new JButton("test");
button.setBackground(Color.RED);
button.setOpaque(true);
