Set tab color in JTabbedPane
With this example we shall see how to set tab color in JTabbedPane
.
In order to do that, one should follows these steps:
- Create a new
JFrame
. - Call
frame.getContentPane().setLayout(new GridLayout(1, 1)
to set up grid layout for the frame. - Use
JTabbedPane(JTabbedPane.TOP)
to get aJTabbedPane
. - Use
tabbedPane.setForeground(Color.green)
to set foreground color. - Use
tabbedPane.setBackground(Color.red)
to set the background color. - Use
tabbedPane.addTab
to add a tool tip.
Let’s see the code:
package com.javacodegeeks.snippets.desktop; import java.awt.Color; import java.awt.GridLayout; import java.awt.Label; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JPanel; import javax.swing.JTabbedPane; public class RemoveTabInJTabbedPane { private static void createAndShowGUI() { // Create and set up the window. final JFrame frame = new JFrame("Tabbed Pane Example"); // Display the window. frame.setSize(400, 300); frame.setVisible(true); frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); // set grid layout for the frame frame.getContentPane().setLayout(new GridLayout(1, 1)); JTabbedPane tabbedPane = new JTabbedPane(JTabbedPane.TOP); // set the foreground color of this component (all tabs) tabbedPane.setForeground(Color.green); // set the background color of this component (all tabs) tabbedPane.setBackground(Color.red); tabbedPane.addTab("Tab1", makePanel("This is tab 1")); tabbedPane.addTab("Tab2", makePanel("This is tab 2")); tabbedPane.addTab("Tab3", makePanel("This is tab 3")); tabbedPane.addTab("Tab4", makePanel("This is tab 4")); frame.getContentPane().add(tabbedPane); int index = 2; // third tab // set foreground color for the specified tab tabbedPane.setForegroundAt(index, Color.yellow); // set background color for the specified tab tabbedPane.setBackgroundAt(index, Color.black); } private static JPanel makePanel(String text) { JPanel p = new JPanel(); p.add(new Label(text)); p.setLayout(new GridLayout(1, 1)); return p; } 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(); } }); } }
