I am pretty new to java swing and not familiar with paint(). I want to create a button in java swing with above look. Can anyone help me to do this. Any guidance would be grateful. Thanks in advance
I googled the Facebook blue RGB: 59, 89, 182/Hex Code is #3B5998 and Font family: Tahoma.
using that here is what I got with a few calls like setFocusPainted(false)
,setBackground(new Color(59, 89, 182))
and setFont(new Font("Tahoma", Font.BOLD, 12))
:
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import java.awt.Font;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
public class Test {
public Test() {
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
JButton b = new JButton("Log In");//http://www.chacha.com/question/what-are-the-rgb-values-for-the-background-color-of-comments-on-facebook
b.setBackground(new Color(59, 89, 182));
b.setForeground(Color.WHITE);
b.setFocusPainted(false);
b.setFont(new Font("Tahoma", Font.BOLD, 12));//http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070906133202AAOvnIP
frame.add(b);
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
new Test();
}
});
}
}
unless you are looking for identical (which IMO this is about as best as it gets without using actual image)... than setting the image of the button would be the best way
