Java Forum / GUI / February 2005Macintosh problems
I posted a little game applet on http://www.brising.com/blackbox that works just fine on Windows machines. It doesn't work on Macs. Several friends have tried it on OSX, and JButtons that are supposed to change color don't, although AFAICT everything else works correctly. Is there any known lore on this topic?

JButtons on Mac OS X use the Aqua L&F and don't respond to setBackground() if that is what you are doing. If you use icons (just squares of the different colors) instead for the colors then that would be more portable.

Hard to believe they'd do that, but stranger things have happened. Thanks, Steve >> How are you trying to change the color?

I now forcibly set the L&F to Metal and http://www.brising.com/blackbox now works correctly on Macs also. Write once, test everywhere. <}:-) Thanks.
