With this example we shall show you how to set foreground color in a JLabel component in Java Desktop Applications. This will enrich and customize your GUI components.
It’s very easy to set the foreground color in a JLebel, as all you have to do is:
- Create a class that extends
JFrame. - Create a new
JLabel. - Use
JLabel.setForeground(Color.[COLOR_CODE])to set the foreground color. - Use add method to add the
JLabelto the frame.
Let’s see the code snippet tha follows:
01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 | package com.javacodegeeks.snippets.desktop;import java.awt.Color;import java.awt.FlowLayout;import javax.swing.JFrame;import javax.swing.JLabel;public class SetForegroundColorInJLabel extends JFrame { private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; public SetForegroundColorInJLabel() { // set flow layout for the frame this.getContentPane().setLayout(new FlowLayout()); JLabel label = new JLabel("Java Code Geeks - Java Examples"); // Sets the foreground color of this component. It is up to the // look and feel to honor this property, some may choose to ignore it. label.setForeground(Color.BLUE); // add label to frame add(label); } private static void createAndShowGUI() { //Create and set up the window. JFrame frame = new SetForegroundColorInJLabel(); //Display the window. frame.pack(); frame.setVisible(true); frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); } public static void main(String[] args) { //Schedule a job for the event-dispatching thread: //creating and showing this application's GUI. javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {public void run() { createAndShowGUI(); } }); }} |
