JDK-5099681 - Windows/Motif L&F: JSlider should use foreground color for ticks.
Description
When foreground color is set on JSlider, the color is used only for painting the ticks. The color is not set for labels of JSlider (screenshot attached) If foreground color is set, it must be used for labels as well.


The behaviour is LAF dependent.
1) Metal   -> Ticks are painted using foreground color
2) Motif   -> Thumnails are painted using foreground color
3) Windows -> Foreground color is not used at all
4) GTK     -> Foreground color is used for ticks and value (not for labels)

Compile and run JSliderTest.java

EVALUATION Name: apR10133 Date: 03/01/2004 Developers could set the label's foreground color directly to the labels. If slider's fg color will take an effect on labels we will lost the ability to set the tick's and label's colors to the different values. ###@###.### ======================================================================

WORK AROUND Name: apR10133 Date: 03/01/2004 Set labels foreground expicitly: if (dictionary != null) { Enumeration keys = dictionary.keys(); while ( keys.hasMoreElements() ) { Component label = (Component)dictionary.get( keys.nextElement() ); if (label instanceof JComponent) { JComponent jlabel = (JComponent)label; label.setForeground(Color.yellow); } } } ###@###.### ======================================================================
