Comments
EVALUATION Ocean makes toolbar buttons transparent so that so you can see the gradient. This means you won't see any background that is set. Two options: . Force developers to invoke setOpaque(true) if that is what what they want. . Special case JButtons so that they'll do a fillRect if in ocean and they are transparent and in a JToolBar and have a non-UIResource background. ###@###.### 2003-11-05 This has been addressed by 4908404, refer to it for details. ###@###.### 2003-12-04
