whats the most simple way to make a JButton only show the background color? I don't need any other effects like borders, 3D-look or hover-highlighting.

Thanks in advance.

I don't know if I have missed a point... But I usually do somtehing like this:

button.setBorderPainted(false);
button.setFocusPainted(false);
button.setContentAreaFilled(false);
