Description Gehtdich Nixan 2003-10-21 09:25:32 UTC

When I set a Background-Color on a JApplet this 
has no effect at all. 
I think the generated code should be 
getContentPane().setBackground(Color c); instead 
of setBackground(Color c);
It is the same for the Foregroundcolor...

The problem is a bit wider - there are the top containers (like
JApplet and JFrame) and they have some sub-containers underneath, like
the content pane. Both have some properties, but form editor actually
shows properties only for the top container. There would have to be
"Content Pane" node perhaps to present the other properties. Just
generating getContentPane().set... is wrong though the user wants e.g.
to set the colors on content pane, not on the top container. I don't
like to hack this only for colors, but don't know better solution at
this moment.

Well... You can guess which behavior is more expected and intuitive. It is not the current one, as far as I'm concerned.
If you create a form and then change its background color, you expect that the background color is changed. The
generated code should be getContentPane().setBackground(Color c);, for my taste - DEFINITELY.

If it was up to me, the current behavior would be marked as a bug. I recommend increasing the priority.

Raising priority to P2, to bring up faster decision making about this;)... The fix is probably very simple...
